James 5
1 Wicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance. 7 We ought to be patient in afflictions, after the example of the prophets, and Job: 12 to forbear swearing, 13 to pray in adversity, to sing in prosperity: 16 to acknowledge mutually our several faults, to pray one for another, 19 and to reduce a straying brother to the truth.
5:1
Come 33 now 3568, you rich 4145, weep 2799 and howl 3649 for your miseries 5004 which are coming 1904 upon you.
5:2
Your riches 4149 have rotted 4595 and your garments 2440 have become 1096 moth-eaten 4598.
5:3
Your gold 5557 and your silver 696 have rusted 2728; and their rust 2447 will be a witness 3142 against you and will consume 2068 your flesh 4561 like 5613 fire 4442. It is in the last 2078 days 2250 that you have stored 2343 up your treasure 2343!
5:4
Behold 2400, the pay 3408 of the laborers 2040 who mowed 270 your fields 5561, [and] which has been withheld 879b by you, cries 2896 out [against you]; and the outcry 995 of those 3588 who did 2325 the harvesting 2325 has reached 1525 the ears 3775 of the Lord 2962 of Sabaoth 4519.
5:5
You have lived 5171 luxuriously 5171 on the earth 1093 and led 4684 a life 4684 of wanton 4684 pleasure 4684; you have fattened 5142 your hearts 2588 in a day 2250 of slaughter 4967.
5:6
You have condemned 2613a and put 5407 to death 5407 the righteous 1342 [man]; he does not resist 498 you.
5:7
¶ Therefore 3767 be patient 3114, brethren 80, until 2193 the coming 3952 of the Lord 2962. The farmer 1092 waits 1551 for the precious 5093 produce 2590 of the soil 1093, being patient 3114 about 1909 it, until 2193 it gets 2983 the early 4291a and late 3797 rains.
5:8
You too 2532 be patient 3114; strengthen 4741 your hearts 2588, for the coming 3952 of the Lord 2962 is near 1448.
5:9
Do not complain 4727, brethren 80, against 2596 one 240 another 240, so 2443 that you yourselves may not be judged 2919; behold 2400, the Judge 2923 is standing 2476 right 4253 at the door 2374.
5:10
As an example 5262, brethren 80, of suffering 2552 and patience 3115, take 2983 the prophets 4396 who 3739 spoke 2980 in the name 3686 of the Lord 2962.
5:11
We count 3106 those 3588 blessed 3106 who endured 5278. You have heard 191 of the endurance 5281 of Job 2492a and have seen 3708 the outcome 5056 of the Lord’s 2962 dealings, that the Lord 2962 is full 4184 of compassion 4184 and [is] merciful 3629.
5:12
¶ But above 4253 all 3956, my brethren 80, do not swear 3660, either 3383 by heaven 3772 or 3383 by earth 1093 or 3383 with any 5100 other 243 oath 3727; but your yes 3483a is to be yes 3483a, and your no 3756, no 3756, so 2443 that you may not fall 4098 under 5259 judgment 2920.
5:13
¶ Is anyone 5100 among 1722 you suffering 2553? [Then] he must pray 4336. Is anyone 5100 cheerful 2114? He is to sing 5567 praises 5567.
5:14
Is anyone 5100 among 1722 you sick 770? [Then] he must call 4341 for the elders 4245 of the church 1577 and they are to pray 4336 over 1909 him, anointing 218b him with oil 1637 in the name 3686 of the Lord 2962;
5:15
and the prayer 2171 offered in faith 4102 will restore 4982 the one who is sick 2577, and the Lord 2962 will raise 1453 him up, and if 2579 he has committed 4160 sins 266, they will be forgiven 863 him.
5:16
Therefore 3767, confess 1843 your sins 266 to one 240 another 240, and pray 4336 for one 240 another 240 so 3704 that you may be healed 2390. The effective 1754 prayer 1162 of a righteous 1342 man 1342 can 2480 accomplish 1754 much 4183.
5:17
Elijah 2243 was a man 444 with a nature 3663 like 3663 ours 1473, and he prayed 4336 earnestly 4335 that it would not rain 1026, and it did not rain 1026 on the earth 1093 for three 5140 years 1763 and six 1803 months 3376.
5:18
Then 2532 he prayed 4336 again 3825, and the sky 3772 poured 1325 rain 5205 and the earth 1093 produced 985 its fruit 2590.
5:19
¶ My brethren 80, if 1437 any 5100 among 1722 you strays 4105 from the truth 225 and one 5100 turns 1994 him back 1994,
5:20
let him know 1097 that he who turns 1994 a sinner 268 from the error 4106 of his way 3598 will save 4982 his soul 5590 from death 2288 and will cover 2572 a multitude 4128 of sins 266.
