"7Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently for it until it receives the early and latter rain. 8You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. 9Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold the Judge is standing at the door! 10My brethren, take the propbhets, who spke in the name of the Lord, as an example of sufering and patience. 11Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord - that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful. 12But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your "Yes be "Yes" and your "No", "No", lest you fall into judgement. 13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing psalms? 14 Is anyone 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. 15And the prayers of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven."
from James 5
