James 5:7-12

7Be patientG3114, thenG3767, brothersG80, untilG2193 theG3588 Lord’sG2962 comingG3952. See howG2400 theG3588 farmerG1092 awaitsG1551 theG3588 preciousG5093 fruitG2590 of theG3588 soilG1093—how patient he isG3114 forG1909G846G2193G2983 the fall andG2532 spring rains.1 8YouG4771, tooG2532, be patientG3114 and strengthenG4741 yourG4771 heartsG2588, becauseG3754 theG3588 Lord’sG2962 comingG3952 is nearG1448. 9Do notG3361 complainG4727 aboutG2596 one anotherG240, brothersG80, so thatG2443 you will not be judgedG3361G2919. LookG2400, theG3588 JudgeG2923 is standingG2476 atG4253 theG3588 doorG2374!

10BrothersG80, as an exampleG5262 of patienceG3115 in afflictionG2552, takeG2983 theG3588 prophetsG4396 whoG3739 spokeG2980 inG1722 theG3588 nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 11See howG2400 blessed we considerG3106 those whoG3588 have perseveredG5278. You have heardG191 of Job’sG2492 perseveranceG5281 andG2532 have seenG3708 theG3588 outcomeG5056 from the LordG2962. TheG3588 LordG2962 isG1510 full of compassionG4184 andG2532 mercyG3629.

12AboveG1161G4253 allG3956, myG1473 brothersG80, do notG3361 swearG3660, notG3383 by heavenG3772 or earthG1093 or by anyG5100 otherG243 oathG3727. SimplyG1161 let yourG4771 “YesG3483” beG1510 yesG3483, andG2532 your “NoG3756,” noG3756, so thatG2443 you will not fallG3361G4098 underG5259 judgmentG2920.
