James:5:7-12

*
Be patient ,
then ,
brothers ,
till the coming of the Lord .
Behold the farmer who waits for the precious fruit of the earth ,
being patient over it ,
until it gets the early and the latter rains .
*
So you also must be patient .
Stablish your hearts ;
for the coming of the Lord is at hand !
*
Do not make complaints against each other ,
brothers ,
lest you yourselves be condemned .
Behold the Judge is standing before the very door !
*
Take ,
my brothers ,
for an example the suffering and the patience of the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord .
*
Remember we count those that were stedfast happy .
You have heard of the stedfastness of Job ,
and have seen the end of the Lord with him ,
seen how the Lord is full of tenderness .
*
Again ,
above all things ,
my brothers ,
swear not at all ,
neither by the heavens ,
nor by the earth ,
nor by any other oath .
Let your "
yes "
be "
yes ,"
and your "
no ," "
no ,"
so you will not fall under condemnation .
