9. Brothers and sisters, do not complain against each other or you will be judged guilty. And the Judge is ready to come!
10. Brothers and sisters, follow the example of the prophets who spoke for the Lord. They suffered many hard things, but they were patient.
11. We say they are happy because they did not give up. You have heard about Job’s patience, and you know the Lord’s purpose for him in the end. You know the Lord is full of mercy and is kind.
12. My brothers and sisters, above all, do not use an oath when you make a promise. Don’t use the name of heaven, earth, or anything else to prove what you say. When you mean yes, say only yes, and when you mean no, say only no so you will not be judged guilty.
13. Anyone who is having troubles should pray. Anyone who is happy should sing praises.
14. Anyone who is sick should call the church’s elders. They should pray for and pour oil on the person in the name of the Lord.
15. And the prayer that is said with faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will heal that person. And if the person has sinned, the sins will be forgiven.
