James 5

1Go toG71 nowG3568, ye rich menG4145, weepG2799 and howlG3649 forG1909 yourG4771 miseriesG3588G5004 that shall come uponG1904 you. 2YourG4771 richesG3588G4149 are corruptedG4595, andG2532 yourG4771 garmentsG3588G2440 areG1096 motheatenG4598. 3YourG4771 goldG3588G5557 andG2532 silverG3588G696 is cankeredG2728; andG2532 the rustG3588G2447 of themG846 shall beG1510 a witnessG3142 againstG1519 youG4771, andG2532 shall eatG5315 yourG4771 fleshG3588G4561 as it wereG5613 fireG4442. Ye have heaped treasure togetherG2343 forG1722 the lastG2078 daysG2250. 4BeholdG3708, the hireG3588G3408 of the labourersG3588G2040 who haveG3588 reaped downG270 yourG4771 fieldsG3588G5561, which is ofG575 youG4771 kept back by fraudG650, criethG2896: andG2532 the criesG3588G995 of themG3588 which have reapedG2325 are enteredG1525 intoG1519 the earsG3588G3775 of the LordG2962 of SabaothG4519. 5Ye have lived in pleasureG5171 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093, andG2532 been wantonG4684; ye have nourishedG5142 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588, asG5613 inG1722 a dayG2250 of slaughterG4967. 6Ye have condemnedG2613 and killedG5407 the justG1342; and he dothG498 notG3756 resistG498 youG4771. 7

Be patientG3114 thereforeG3767, brethrenG80, untoG2193 the comingG3588G3952 of the LordG3588G2962. BeholdG3708, the husbandmanG3588G1092 waiteth forG1551 the preciousG5093 fruitG2590 of the earthG3588G1093, and hath long patienceG3114 forG1909 itG846, untilG2193 he receiveG2983 the earlyG4406 andG2532 latterG3797 rainG5205. 8BeG3114 yeG4771 alsoG2532 patientG3114; stablishG4741 yourG4771 heartsG3588G2588: forG3754 the comingG3588G3952 of the LordG3588G2962 draweth nighG1448. 9GrudgeG4727 notG3361 one againstG2596 anotherG240, brethrenG80, lestG2443G3361 ye be condemnedG2632: beholdG3708, the judgeG3588G2923 standethG2476 beforeG4253 the doorG3588G2374. 10TakeG2983, myG1473 brethrenG80, the prophetsG3588G4396, whoG3739 have spokenG2980 in the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG2962, for an exampleG5262 of suffering afflictionG3588G2552, andG2532 of patienceG3588G3115. 11BeholdG3708, we countG3106 themG3588 happyG3106 which endureG5278. Ye have heardG191 of the patienceG3588G5281 of JobG2492, andG2532 have seenG3708 the endG3588G5056 of the LordG2962; thatG3754 the LordG3588G2962 isG1510 very compassionateG4184, andG2532 of tender mercyG3629.

12ButG1161 aboveG4253 all thingsG3956, myG1473 brethrenG80, swearG3660 notG3361, neitherG3383 by heavenG3588G3772, neitherG3383 by the earthG3588G1093, neitherG3383 by anyG5100 otherG243 oathG3727: butG1161 letG1510 yourG4771 yeaG3483 beG1510 yeaG3483; andG2532 your nayG3756, nayG3756; lestG2443G3361 ye fallG4098 intoG5259 condemnationG2920.

13IsG2553 anyG5100 amongG1722 youG4771 afflictedG2553? let him prayG4336. IsG2114 anyG5100 merryG2114? let him sing psalmsG5567. 14IsG770 anyG5100 sickG770 amongG1722 youG4771? let him callG4341 for the eldersG4245 of the AssemblyG3588G1577; andG2532 let them prayG4336 overG1909 himG846, anointingG218 himG846 with oilG1637 inG1722 the nameG3588G3686 of the LordG3588G2962: 15AndG2532 the prayerG3588G2171 of faithG3588G4102 shall saveG4982 the sickG2577, andG2532 the LordG3588G2962 shall raiseG1453 himG846 upG1453; and ifG2579 he have committedG4160 sinsG266, theyG863 shall beG1510 forgivenG863 himG846.

16ConfessG1843 your trespassesG3588G3900 one to anotherG240, andG2532 prayG2172 oneG240 forG5228 anotherG240, thatG3704 ye may be healedG2390. The effectual ferventG1754 prayerG1162 of a righteous manG1342 availethG2480 muchG4183. 17ElijahG2243 wasG1510 a manG444 subject to like passionsG3663 as we areG1473, andG2532 he prayedG4336 earnestlyG4335 that it mightG1026 notG3361 rainG1026: andG2532 it rainedG1026 notG3756 onG1909 the earthG3588G1093 by the space of threeG5140 yearsG1763 andG2532 sixG1803 monthsG3376. 18AndG2532 he prayedG4336 againG3825, andG2532 the heavenG3588G3772 gaveG1325 rainG5205, andG2532 the earthG3588G1093 brought forthG985 herG846 fruitG3588G2590.

19BrethrenG80, ifG1437 anyG5100 ofG1722 youG4771 do errG4105 fromG575 the truthG3588G225, andG2532 oneG5100 convertG1994 himG846; 20Let him knowG1097, thatG3754 he which convertethG1994 the sinnerG268 fromG1537 the errorG4106 of hisG846 wayG3598 shall saveG4982 a soulG5590 fromG1537 deathG2288, andG2532 shall hideG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266.
