New Testament

James 5:8-13 American Standard Version (ASV)

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.

12. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by the heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay; that ye fall not under judgment.

13. Is any among you suffering? Let him pray. Is any cheerful? Let him sing praise.
