James:5:1 @
Go to now ,
ye rich men ,
weep and howl in your miseries ,
which shall come upon you .
drb @
James:5:2 @
Your riches are corrupted :
and your garments are motheaten .
drb @
James:5:3 @
Your gold and silver is cankered :
and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you ,
and shall eat your flesh like fire .
You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days .
drb @
James:5:4 @
Behold the hire of the labourers ,
who have reaped down your fields ,
which by fraud has been kept back by you ,
crieth :
and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth .
drb @
James:5:5 @
You have feasted upon earth :
and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts ,
in the day of slaughter .
drb @
James:5:6 @
You have condemned and put to death the Just One ,
and he resisted you not .
drb @
James:5:7 @
Be patient therefore ,
brethren ,
until the coming of the Lord .
Behold ,
the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth :
patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain .
drb @
James:5:8 @
Be you therefore also patient ,
and strengthen your hearts :
for the coming of the Lord is at hand .
drb @
James:5:9 @
Grudge not ,
brethren ,
one against another ,
that you may not be judged .
Behold the judge standeth before the door .
drb @
James:5:10 @
Take ,
my brethren ,
for an example of suffering evil ,
of labour and patience ,
the prophets ,
who spoke in the name of the Lord .
drb @
James:5:11 @
Behold ,
we account them blessed who have endured .
You have heard of the patience of Job ,
and you have seen the end of the Lord ,
that the Lord is merciful and compassionate .
drb @
James:5:12 @
But above all things ,
my brethren ,
swear not ,
neither by heaven ,
nor by the earth ,
nor by any other oath

James:5:13 @
Is any of you sad ?
Let him pray .
Is he cheerful in mind ?
Let him sing .
drb @
James:5:14 @
Is any man sick among you ?
Let him bring in the priests of the church ,
and let them pray over him ,
anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord .
drb @
James:5:15 @
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man :
and the Lord shall raise him up :
and if he be in sins ,
they shall be forgiven him .
drb @
James:5:16 @
Confess therefore your sins one to another :
and pray one for another ,
that you may be saved .
For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much .

James:5:17 @
Elias was a man passible like unto us :
and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth ,
and it rained not for three years and six months .
drb @
James:5:18 @
And he prayed again :
and the heaven gave rain ,
and the earth brought forth her fruit .
drb @
James:5:19 @
My brethren ,
if any of you err from the truth ,
and one convert him :
drb @
James:5:20 @
He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way ,
shall save his soul from death ,
and shall cover a multitude of sins .
