Mounce Reverse Interlinear New Testament
5 Come agō now nyn, you ho rich people plousios, weep klaiō and wail ololyzō over epi the ho miseries talaipōria that ho are coming eperchomai your way hymeis. 2 · ho Your hymeis riches ploutos have rotted sēpō and kai · ho your hymeis clothes himation are ginomai moth-eaten sētobrōtos. 3 · ho Your hymeis gold chrysos and kai your ho silver argyros have rusted katioō and kai · ho their autos rust ios will be eimi a witness martyrion against you hymeis, and kai it will consume esthiō · ho your hymeis flesh sarx like hōs fire pyr. You have stored up treasure thēsaurizō for en the last eschatos days hēmera. 4 Look idou, the ho wages misthos you have held back apostereō from the ho workers ergatēs who ho mowed amaō · ho your hymeis fields chōra · ho are crying out krazō against apo you hymeis, and kai the ho cries boē of the ho harvesters therizō have reached eiserchomai the ho ears ous of the Lord kyrios of Hosts Sabaōth. 5 You have lived tryphaō on epi the ho earth gē in self-indulgence and kai luxury spatalaō. You have fattened trephō · ho your hymeis hearts kardia for en a day hēmera of slaughter sphagē. 6 You condemn katadikazō the ho innocent dikaios and put him to death phoneuō; he does not ou resist antitassō you hymeis.
7 Be patient makrothumeō, therefore oun, dear friends adelphos, until heōs the ho coming parousia of the ho Lord kyrios. Note idou how the ho farmer geōrgos waits for ekdechomai the ho precious timios harvest karpos of the ho earth gē, being patient makrothumeō for epi it autos until heōs it receives lambanō the early proimos and kai latter opsimos rains . 8 You hymeis too kai must be patient makrothumeō; strengthen stērizō · ho your hymeis hearts kardia, for hoti the ho coming parousia of the ho Lord kyrios is near engizō. 9 Do not mē complain stenazō against kata one another allēlōn, my brothers adelphos, lest hina mē you be judged krinō. Look idou, the ho judge kritēs is standing histēmi at pro the ho doors thura. 10 As an example hypodeigma of ho suffering kakopatheia and kai patience makrothumia, brothers adelphos, take lambanō · ho the ho prophets prophētēs who hos spoke laleō in en the ho name onoma of the Lord kyrios. 11 For sure idou, we regard as blessed makarizō those ho who persevered hypomenō. You have heard of akouō the ho perseverance hypomonē of Job Iōb and kai have seen the ho result telos of the Lord' s kyrios activity, that hoti the ho Lord kyrios is eimi exceedingly compassionate polysplanchnos and kai merciful oiktirmōn. 12 Above pro all pas, · de my egō brothers adelphos, do not mē swear omnyō, either mēte by ho heaven ouranos or mēte by ho earth gē or mēte by any tis other allos oath horkos. Rather de let your hymeis “ Yes nai” be eimi · ho yes nai and kai your ho “ No ou,” no ou, so that hina you may piptō not mē fall piptō under hypo judgment krisis.
13 Is anyone tis among en you hymeis suffering kakopatheō? He should pray proseuchomai. Is anyone tis cheerful euthumeō? He should sing praises psallō. 14 Is anyone tis among en you hymeis sick astheneō? He should call for proskaleō the ho elders presbyteros of the ho church ekklēsia and kai have them pray proseuchomai over epi him autos, anointing aleiphō him autos with oil elaion in en the ho name onoma of the ho Lord kyrios; 15 and kai the ho prayer euchē offered in ho faith pistis will restore sōzō the ho one who is sick kamnō and kai the ho Lord kyrios will raise egeirō him autos up . And if kan he has eimi committed poieō sins hamartia, he autos will be forgiven aphiēmi. 16 Therefore oun confess exomologeomai your ho sins hamartia to one another allēlōn and kai pray euchomai for hyper one another allēlōn so that hopōs you may be healed iaomai. The active energeō prayer deēsis of dikaios a righteous person dikaios has great polys power ischuō. 17 Elijah ēlias was eimi a man anthrōpos exactly homoiopathēs like us hēmeis, and kai he prayed earnestly proseuchē that it would not mē rain brechō, and kai for eniautos three treis years eniautos and kai six hex months mēn no ou rain fell brechō on epi the ho earth gē. 18 Then kai he prayed proseuchomai again palin, and kai the ho heavens ouranos poured down didōmi rain hyetos and kai the ho earth gē produced blastanō · ho its autos harvest karpos.
19 My egō brothers adelphos, if ean anyone tis among en you hymeis strays planaō from apo the ho truth alētheia and kai someone tis brings him autos back epistrephō, 20 he should know ginōskō that hoti the ho one who brings epistrephō a sinner hamartōlos back from ek the error planē of his autos way hodos will save sōzō that person’ s autos soul psychē from ek death thanatos and kai cover kalyptō a multitude plēthos of sins hamartia.

Warning to the Rich
5 Come now, you rich(A) people! Weep and wail over the miseries that are coming on you. 2 Your wealth is ruined and your clothes are moth-eaten.(B) 3 Your silver and gold are corroded, and their corrosion will be a witness against you and will eat your flesh like fire. You stored up treasure in the last days!(C) 4 Look! The pay that you withheld from the workers(D) who reaped your fields cries out, and the outcry of the harvesters has reached the ears of the Lord of Hosts.[a](E) 5 You have lived luxuriously on the land and have indulged yourselves. You have fattened your hearts(F) for[b] the day of slaughter.(G) 6 You have condemned—you have murdered—the righteous man; he does not resist you.(H)
Waiting for the Lord
7 Therefore, brothers, be patient until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth and is patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains.(I) 8 You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.(J)
9 Brothers, do not complain about one another, so that you will not be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door!(K)
10 Brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord’s name as an example of suffering and patience. 11 See, we count as blessed those who have endured.[c] You have heard of Job’s endurance(L) and have seen the outcome from the Lord. The Lord is very compassionate and merciful.(M)
Truthful Speech
12 Now above all, my brothers, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath.(N) Your “yes” must be “yes,” and your “no” must be “no,” so that you won’t fall under judgment.[d]
Effective Prayer
13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises.(O) 14 Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they should pray over him after anointing him with olive oil in the name of the Lord.(P) 15 The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will restore him to health; if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.(Q) 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The urgent request of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.(R) 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours; yet he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the land.(S) 18 Then he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land produced its fruit.(T)
19 My brothers, if any among you strays from the truth,(U) and someone turns him back,(V) 20 let him know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his life from death and cover a multitude of sins.(W)
