4 : 1 What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

4 : 13 Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."
4 : 14 Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.
