James 5:7-10

Goodspeed(i) 7 So be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer has to wait for the precious crop from the ground, and be patient with it, until it gets the early and the late rains. 8 You must have patience too; you must keep up your courage, for the coming of the Lord is close at hand. 9 Do not complain of one another, brothers, or you will be judged. The judge is standing right at the door! 10 As an example, brothers, of ill-treatment patiently endured, take the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord.
