James 4:17

The problems with this plan presented at the beginning of this section are the underestimation of life and the absence of God. James goes further to say that a person sins when they know what is right and fail to do it. Now we know that boasting in arrogance is evil. Therefore, knowing all these things, we must do them, otherwise we will be sinning. We can no longer claim ignorance and so we must do what is right.
