James 5:7-11

Disciples’ Literal New Testament

Be Patient and Endure Hardship Until The Lord Comes

⁷ Therefore be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold— the farmer waits-for the precious fruit of the land, being-patient with it until it receives the early and late rain. ⁸ You also be-patient. Establish your hearts, because the coming of the Lord has drawn-near. ⁹ Do not be groaning against one another, brothers, in order that you may not be judged. Behold— the Judge stands in front of the doors. ¹⁰ Take as an example of suffering-hardship and patience, brothers, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. ¹¹ Behold— we consider-blessed the ones having endured! You heard of the endurance of Job, and you saw the outcome from the Lord: that the Lord is large-hearted^[a] and compassionate.
