Be Patient
and Persevering 7
"Therefore 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. 8
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord
is at hand. 9 Do not grumble against one another,
brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the
door! 10 My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke
in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. 11
Indeed 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. 12 But 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 judgment." |
