11 Backbite not one another brethren. He that backbiteth his brother, and he that iudgeth his brother, backbiteth ye lawe, and iudgeth the lawe: But and yf thou iudge the lawe, thou art not an obseruer of the lawe, but a iudge. 12 There is one lawe geuer, which is able to saue and to destroy. What art thou that iudgest another? 13 Go to nowe ye that say, to day and to morowe let vs go into such a citie, and continue there a yere, and bye and sell, and wynne: 14 And yet can not ye tel what shall happen on the morowe. For what thyng is your lyfe? It is euen a vapour, that appeareth for a litle tyme, and then he vanisheth away. 15 For that ye ought to say: If the Lorde wyll, and yf we lyue, let vs do this or that. 16 But now ye reioyce in your boastinges: All such reioycyng is euyll. 17 Therfore to hym that knoweth howe to do good, and doth it not, to hym it is sinne.
