* **and what is your life anyway** - This is a rhetorical question that James uses to teach his audience about physical life. It can be translated as a statement and as a new sentence: "Think about your physical lives."
* **For you are like a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes.** - This is a simile that compares how quickly physical lives are quickly end to a mist that appears then quickly goes away. This could be translated as "You live for only a short amount of time, and you do not know when you will die." (See: [[en:ta:vol1:translate:figs_simile]])
