Berean Standard Bible
“Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.”
James 4 warns against worldly ambition and boasting about the future, and just before this verse he tells his readers to say that they will do this or that if the Lord wills. The verse serves as a summary of that section.
