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 Lord1 is at hand.  
9 Do not1 grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be2 condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!  
10 aMy brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and bpatience.  
11 Indeed awe count them blessed who bendure. You have heard of cthe perseverance of Job and seen dthe end intended by the Lord—that ethe Lord is very compassionate and merciful.  
12 But above all, my brethren, ado 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 into1 judgment.

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him apray. Is anyone cheerful? bLet him sing psalms.
