James 4:17 in other translations
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
To him therefore who knows to do good and doesn’t do it, to him it is sin.

In context
14 Whereas you know not what shall be on the morrow.
15 For what is your life? It is a vapour which appeareth for a little while and afterwards shall vanish away. For that you should say: If the Lord will, and, If we shall live, we will do this or that.
16 But now you rejoice in your arrogancies. All such rejoicing is wicked.
17 To him therefore who knoweth to do good and doth it not, to him it is sin.
