5Now listen, you rich people, weep and wail because of the misery that is coming upon you.G33G3568G4145G2799G3649G1909G5216G5004G19042Your wealth has rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes.G5216G4149G4595G2532G5216G2440G1096G45983Your gold and silver are corroded. Their corrosion will testify against you and eat your flesh like fire. You have hoarded wealth in the last days.G5216G5557G2532G696G2728G2532G2447G846G2071G3142G1519G5213G2532G5315G5216G4561G5613G4442G2343G1722G2078G22504Look! The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields are crying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord Almighty.G2400G3408G2040G3588G270G5216G5561G3588G575G5216G650G2896G2532G995G2325G1525G1519G3775G2962G45195You have lived on earth in luxury and self-indulgence. You have fattened yourselves in the day of slaughter.G5171G1909G1093G2532G4684G5142G5216G2588G5613G1722G2250G49676You have condemned and murdered innocent men, who were not opposing you.G2613G5407G1342G498G3756G498G5213
Patience in Suffering
7Be patient, then, brothers, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop and how patient he is for the autumn and spring rains.G3114G3767G80G2193G3952G2962G2400G1092G1551G5093G2590G1093G3114G1909G846G2193G302G2983G4406G2532G3797G52058You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord's coming is near.G3114G5210G2532G3114G4741G5216G2588G3754G3952G2962G14489Don't grumble against each other, brothers, or you will be judged. The Judge is standing at the door!G4727G3361G2596G240G80G3363G2632G2400G2923G2476G4253G237410Brothers, as an example of patience in the face of suffering, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.G2983G3450G80G4396G3739G2980G3686G2962G5262G2552G2532G311511As you know, we consider blessed those who have persevered. You have heard of Job's perseverance and have seen what the Lord finally brought about. The Lord is full of compassion and mercy.G2400G3106G5278G191G5281G2492G2532G1492G5056G2962G3754G2962G2076G4184G2532G362912Above all, my brothers, do not swear—not by heaven or by earth or by anything else. Let your "Yes" be yes, and your "No," no, or you will be condemned.G1161G4253G3956G3450G80G3660G3361G3383G3772G3383G1093G3383G5100G243G3727G1161G2277G5216G3483G2277G3483G2532G3756G3756G3363G4098G1519G5272
The Prayer of Faith
13Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.G2553G5100G1722G5213G2553G4336G2114G5100G2114G556714Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.G770G5100G770G1722G5213G4341G4245G1577G2532G4336G1909G846G218G846G1637G1722G3686G296215And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.G2532G2171G4102G4982G2577G2532G2962G1453G846G1453G2579G5600G4160G266G863G84616Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.G1843G3900G240G2532G2172G240G5228G240G3704G2390G1754G1162G1342G2480G418317Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.G2243G2258G444G3663G2254G2532G4336G4335G1026G3361G1026G2532G1026G3756G1909G1093G5140G1763G2532G1803G337618Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.G2532G4336G3825G2532G3772G1325G5205G2532G1093G985G846G259019My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back,G80G1437G5100G1722G5213G4105G575G225G2532G5100G1994G84620remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.G1097G846G1097G3754G1994G268G1537G4106G846G3598G4982G5590G1537G2288G2532G2572G4128G266
