James 5:7-8
New King James Version
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 Lord [a]is at hand.

James 2:17-26
New King James Version
17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.
18 But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” (A)Show me your faith without [a]your works, (B)and I will show you my faith by [b]my works. 19 You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even the demons believe—and tremble! 20 But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is [c]dead? 21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works (C)when he offered Isaac his son on the altar? 22 Do you see (D)that faith was working together with his works, and by (E)works faith was made [d]perfect? 23 And the Scripture was fulfilled which says, (F)“Abraham believed God, and it was [e]accounted to him for righteousness.” And he was called (G)the friend of God. 24 You see then that a man is justified by works, and not by faith only.
25 Likewise, (H)was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out another way?
26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

Hebrews 11:24-34
New King James Version
24 By faith (A)Moses, when he became of age, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the [a]passing pleasures of sin, 26 esteeming (B)the [b]reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures [c]in Egypt; for he looked to the (C)reward.
27 By faith (D)he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king; for he endured as seeing Him who is invisible. 28 By faith (E)he kept the Passover and the sprinkling of blood, lest he who destroyed the firstborn should touch them.
29 By faith (F)they passed through the Red Sea as by dry land, whereas the Egyptians, attempting to do so, were drowned.
By Faith They Overcame
30 By faith (G)the walls of Jericho fell down after they were encircled for seven days. 31 By faith (H)the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who [d]did not believe, when (I)she had received the spies with peace.
32 And what more shall I say? For the time would fail me to tell of (J)Gideon and (K)Barak and (L)Samson and (M)Jephthah, also of (N)David and (O)Samuel and the prophets: 33 who through faith subdued kingdoms, worked righteousness, obtained promises, (P)stopped the mouths of lions, 34 (Q)quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.
