nasb @James:5:1 @Come now , you rich , weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you . nasb @James:5:2 @Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten . nasb @James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver have rusted ; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire . It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure ! nasb @James:5:4 @Behold , the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields , and which has been withheld by you , cries out against you ; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth . nasb @James:5:5 @You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure ; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter . nasb @James:5:6 @You have condemned and put to death the righteous man ; he does not resist you . nasb @James:5:7 @Therefore be patient , brethren , until the coming of the Lord . The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil , being patient about it , until it gets the early and late rains . nasb @James:5:8 @You too be patient ; strengthen your hearts , for the coming of the Lord is near . nasb @James:5:9 @Do not complain , brethren , against one another , so that you yourselves may not be judged ; behold , the Judge is standing right at the door . nasb @James:5:10 @As an example , brethren , of suffering and patience , take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord . nasb @James:5:11 @We count those blessed who endured . You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord 's dealings , that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful . nasb @James:5:12 @But above all , my brethren , do not swear , either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath ; but your yes is to be yes , and your no , no , so that you may not fall under judgment . nasb @James:5:13 @Is anyone among you suffering ? Then he must pray . Is anyone cheerful ? He is to sing praises . nasb @James:5:14 @Is anyone among you sick ? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him , anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord ; nasb @James:5:15 @and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick , and the Lord will raise him up , and if he has committed sins , they will be forgiven him . nasb @James:5:16 @Therefore , confess your sins to one another , and pray for one another so that you may be healed . The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much . nasb @James:5:17 @Elijah was a man with a nature like ours , and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain , and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months . nasb @James:5:18 @Then he prayed again , and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit . nasb @James:5:19 @My brethren , if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back , nasb @James:5:20 @let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins .
