New Testament

James 5:7-15 English Revised Version (ERV)

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; stablish 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 which 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.

14. Is any among you sick? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15. and the prayer of faith shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
