Book 59 : JAMES - Chapter 005
005:001
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten
005:002
Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall
be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were
fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days
005:003
Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your
fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the
cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of
the Lord of sabaoth
005:004
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye
have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter
005:005
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist
you
005:006
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.
Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the
earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the
early and latter rain
005:007
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of
the Lord draweth nigh
005:008
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be
condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door
005:009
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name
of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of
patience
005:010
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the
patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the
Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy
005:011
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by
heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but
let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into
condemnation
005:012
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let
him sing psalms
005:013
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the
church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in
the name of the Lord
005:014
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord
shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall
be forgiven him
005:015
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another,
that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a
righteous man availeth much
005:016
Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he
prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on
the earth by the space of three years and six months
005:017
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth
brought forth her fruit
005:018
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert
him
005:019
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the
error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide
a multitude of sins.
