James 5:7-11
Patience and Perseverance
7Therefore be patient, abrothers, buntil the coming of the Lord. Behold, cthe farmer waits for the precious fruit of the soil, being patient about it, until 1it receives dthe early and late rains. 8aYou too be patient; bstrengthen your hearts, for cthe coming of the Lord is dat hand. 9aDo not groan, bbrothers, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged. Behold, cthe Judge is standing 1,dright at the 2door. 10As an example, abrothers, of suffering and patience, take bthe prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11Behold, we count those ablessed who persevere. You have heard of bthe 1perseverance of Job and have seen cthe 2outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that dthe Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
