Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door (5:9) Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience (5:10) 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. (5:11) com1 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 (5:12) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms (5:13) 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: (5:14) 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 (5:15) 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 (5:16) 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 (5:17) And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit (5:18) Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him; (5:19) 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
(5:20)
