James 4:13

[The expression "Listen now" is found only here and in James 5:1. It ties these passages together and gives a sharp warning. In the next passage, James 5:1–6, there is a warning against earning wealth in an unrighteous way. Here in James 4:13–16, wealth is not mentioned. Instead, it is about the underlying motive, which is the love of money. It is not money itself that is the problem, but the love of it, see 1 Tim. 6:10. The problem James highlights in the example below is when God is omitted from daily life and the love of financial gain becomes greater than the desire to do God's will.]
Listen now (pay attention), you who say:
"Today or tomorrow we will travel to this or that city, stay there a year, do business, and make money."
