Bible verse
Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.
James 4:17 · BSB
The verses around it, from James 4.
13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”
14 You do not even know what will happen tomorrow! What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.
15 Instead, you ought to say, “If the Lord is willing, we will live and do this or that.”
16 As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
17 Anyone, then, who knows the right thing to do, yet fails to do it, is guilty of sin.

To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.
