New Testament

James 5:5-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

5. Ye have lived delicately on the earth, and taken your pleasure; ye have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.

6. Ye have condemned, ye have killed the righteous one; he doth not resist you.

7. Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it, until it receive the early and latter rain.

8. Be ye also patient; establish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

9. Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged: behold, the judge standeth before the doors.

10. Take, brethren, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spake in the name of the Lord.

11. Behold, we call them blessed that endured: ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord, how that the Lord is full of pity, and merciful.
