James 4:17

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

So here's the thing — if you know the right thing to do and you just... don't do it? That's sin. It's not just about the bad stuff you do, it's also about the good stuff you skip out on.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Knowing what's right and choosing not to do it is still choosing wrong.
