James 5:7-12
7ThereforeG3767 beG3114 patientG3114, 1brothersG80 and sisters, 2untilG2193 the comingG3952 of the LordG2962. 3The farmerG1092 waitsG1551 forG1551 the preciousG5093 produceG2590 of the soilG1093, beingG3114 patientG3114 aboutG1909 it, untilG2193 4it getsG2983 5the earlyG4291 and lateG3797 rains. 86You tooG2532 beG3114 patientG3114; 7strengthenG4741 your heartsG2588, for 8the comingG3952 of the LordG2962 is 9nearG1448. 910Do not 11complainG4727, 12brothersG80 and sisters, againstG2596 oneG240 anotherG240, soG2443 thatG2443 you may not be judgedG2919; beholdG2400, 13the JudgeG2923 is standingG2476 1415rightG4253 at the 16doorG2374. 10As an exampleG5262, 17brothersG80 and sisters, of sufferingG2552 and patienceG3115, takeG2983 18the prophetsG4396 whoG3739 spokeG2980 in the nameG3686 of the LordG2962. 11We countG3106 thoseG3588 19blessedG3106 who enduredG5278. You have heardG191 of 20the 21enduranceG5281 of JobG2492 and have seenG3708 22the 23outcomeG5056 of the Lord’sG2962 dealings, that 24the LordG2962 is fullG4184 ofG4184 compassionG4184 and is mercifulG3629.
12But aboveG4253 allG3956, 25my brothersG80 and sisters, 26do not swearG3660, eitherG3383 by heavenG3772 orG3383 by earthG1093 orG3383 with anyG5100 otherG243 oathG3727; but 27your yesG3483 is to be yesG3483, and your noG3756, noG3756, soG2443 thatG2443 you do not fallG4098 underG5259 judgmentG2920.
