James 5:7-20

[7] Be patient  therefore,  brethren,  unto  the coming  of the Lord.  Behold,  the husbandman  waiteth  for the precious  fruit  of the earth,  and hath long patience  for  it,  until  he receive  the early  and  latter  [8] also  patient;  stablish  hearts:  for  the coming  of the Lord  draweth nigh.  [9] Grudge  not  one against another,  brethren,  behold,  the judge  standeth  before  the door.  [10] Take,  brethren,  the prophets,  who  have spoken  in the name  of the Lord,  for an example  of suffering affliction,  and  of patience.  [11] Behold,  we count them happy  which endure.  Ye have heard  of the patience  of Job,  and  the end  of the Lord;  that  the Lord  very pitiful,  and  of tender mercy.  [12] But  above  all things,  brethren,  swear  not,  neither  by heaven,  neither  by the earth,  neither  by any  other  oath:  but  yea  and  your nay,  ye fall  [13] any  among  afflicted?  let him pray.  any  merry?  let him sing psalms.  [14] any  sick  among  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  the sick,  and  the Lord  him  up;  and if  committed  sins,  they shall be forgiven  him.  [16] Confess  one to another,  and  pray  for  another,  that  ye may be healed.  The effectual fervent  prayer  of a righteous man  availeth  much.  [17] Elias  a man  subject to like passions as  and  he prayed  earnestly  not  rain:  and  it rained  not  on  the earth  by the space of three  years  and  six  months.  [18] And  he prayed  again,  and  the heaven  gave  rain,  and  the earth  brought forth  her  fruit.  [19] Brethren,  if  any  of  do err  from  the truth,  and  one  convert  him;  [20] him  know,  that  he which converteth  the sinner  from  the error  of his  way  shall save  a soul  from  death,  and  shall hide  a multitude  of sins.
