James 4:13-14
Go to now, you that say, To day or to morrow we will go into such a city, and continue there a year, and buy and sell, and get gain: 14. Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appears for a little time, and then vanishes away.

If God Wills - God willing

James 4:15-16
For that you ought to say, If the Lord will, we shall live, and do this, or that. 16. But now you rejoice in your boastings: all such rejoicing is evil.

James 4:17
Therefore to him that knows to do good, and does it not, to him it is sin.

James 5:1-2
Go to now, you rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come on you. 2. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are moth-eaten.

"To be Orthodox means to have the God-man Christ constantly in your soul, to live in Him, think in Him, feel in Him, act in Him. In other words, to be Orthodox means to be a Christ-bearer and a Spirit-bearer." St. Justin Popovich.

James 5:3
Your gold and silver is corroded; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. You have heaped treasure together for the last days.

First, O spiritual father, you must become a disciple of Christ and be instructed well in His commandments and then the sacraments, and only thus undertake to teach others. First you must submit to follow a spiritual father, who will lead you on the path leading to Christ, and you must find Christ, or rather Christ must find you, and you must mark well the turnings and sign posts on the path that leads you there, and you must see Christ by the grace of the Holy Spirit, without straying into delusion, and only then guide others to Christ. First you must be illumined by the true light, and only thereafter bring others to this light. First you must be liberated yourself, and only thus undertake to liberate others.

+St. Symeon the New Theologian

James 5:4
Behold, the hire of the laborers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, cries: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

James 5:5-6
You have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; you have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter. 6. You have condemned and killed the just; and he does not resist you.

James 5:7
Be patient therefore, brothers, to the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and has long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

"What are you saying?!
It is not your duty to read Scripture because you are distracted by innumerable cares?
On the contrary, it is your duty more than those others, more than the monks; they do not have such need of help as do you who live in the midst of such cares. You need treatment all the more, because you are constantly under such blows and are wounded so often.
The reading of Scripture is a great defense against sin. Ignorance of the Scripture is a great misfortune, a great abyss. Not to know anything from the word of God is a disaster. This is what has given rise to heresies, to immorality; it has turned everything upside down.”

+ St John Chrysostom
