New English Translation

Footnotes

1. James 4:16 tn Grk “but now.”
2. James 4:16 tn Or “you boast in your arrogance.” The translation in the text is based on two points: (1) The verb καυχάομαι (kauchaomai, “boast”) often uses the preposition ἐν (en) to indicate the focus of the boast (see BDAG 536 s.v. 1). (2) ἀλαζονεία (alazoneia, “arrogance”) here is plural and likely refers to the specific plans mentioned in v. 13.
3. James 4:17 tn Or “knows how to do what is good.”
4. James 4:17 tn Grk “to him it is sin.”
