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.  ‡

14 Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, ^aanointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.  ‡

15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. ^aAnd if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.  ‡
