Defends Against Independence from God and Pride

Independence from God - the one knowing to do good, James 4:13-17

James 4:13–17 (NASB95)

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, spend a year there, buy and sell, and make a profit”; whereas you do not know what will happen tomorrow.

For what is your life?

It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.

Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord desirously wills, we shall live and do this or that.”

But now you boast in your arrogance.

All such boasting is malignant evil.

Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

neither give place to the devil.

The one stealing, let him no longer steal, but rather let him labor, working the good with his hands, in order that he should have to give to the one having need.

Stop letting every rotten word proceed out of your mouth, but if something is good toward the edification of the need, in order that it should give grace to those hearing.

And stop grieving the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you are sealed unto the day of full redemption.

Laziness in Spiritual Things, 1 Timothy 5:11-15

1 Timothy 5:11–15 (NASB95)

But refuse the younger widows; for when they have begun to grow wanton against Christ, they desire to marry, having condemnation because they have cast off their first faith.

And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not.

Therefore, I desire that the younger widows marry, bear children, manage the house, give no opportunity to the adversary to speak reproachfully.
