3Your[G5216]gold[G5557]and[G2532]silver[G696] is cankered[G2728]; and[G2532] the rust[G2447] of them[G846] shall be[G2071] a witness[G3142]against[G1519]you[G5213], and[G2532] shall eat[G5315]your[G5216]flesh[G4561] as it were[G5613]fire[G4442]. Ye have heaped treasure together[G2343]for[G1722] the last[G2078]days[G2250].
4Behold[G2400], the hire[G3408]of[G575] the labourers[G2040]who[G3588] have reaped[G2325]down[G270]your[G5216]fields[G5561], which[G3588] is of[G575]you[G5216] kept back by fraud[G650], crieth[G2896]: and[G2532] the cries[G995]of[G575] them which[G3588] have reaped[G2325] are entered[G1525]into[G1519] the ears[G3775]of[G575] the Lord[G2962]of[G575]sabaoth[G4519].
5
Ye have lived in[G1722]pleasure[G5171]on[G1909] the earth[G1093], and[G2532] been wanton[G4684]; ye have nourished[G5142]your[G5216]hearts[G2588], as[G5613]in[G1722] a day[G2250] of slaughter[G4967].
6
Ye have condemned[G2613] and killed[G5407] the just[G1342]; and he doth[G498]not[G3756]resist[G498]you[G5213].
7
Be patient[G3114]therefore[G3767], brethren[G80], unto[G2193] the coming[G3952] of the Lord[G2962]. Behold[G2400], the husbandman[G1092]waiteth[G1551]for[G1909] the precious[G5093]fruit[G2590] of the earth[G1093], and[G2532] hath long patience[G3114]for[G1909]it[G846], until[G2193] he receive[G2983] the early[G4406]and[G2532]latter[G3797]rain[G5205].
8Be[G3114]ye[G5210]also[G2532]patient[G3114]; stablish[G4741]your[G5216]hearts[G2588]: for[G3754] the coming[G3952] of the Lord[G2962] draweth nigh[G1448].
9Grudge[G4727]not[G3361] one against another[G2596], brethren[G80], lest[G3363] ye be condemned[G2632]: behold[G2400], the judge[G2923]standeth[G2476]before[G4253] the door[G2374].
10Take[G2983], my[G3450]brethren[G80], the prophets[G4396], who[G3739] have spoken[G2980] in the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962], for an example[G5262] of suffering affliction[G2552], and[G2532] of patience[G3115].
11Behold[G2400], we count them happy[G3106] which endure[G5278]. Ye have heard[G191] of the patience[G5281] of Job[G2492], and[G2532] have seen[G1492] the end[G5056] of the Lord[G2962]; that[G3754] the Lord[G2962]is[G2076] very pitiful[G4184], and[G2532] of tender mercy[G3629].
12But[G1161]above[G4253] all things[G3956], my[G3450]brethren[G80], swear[G3660]not[G3361], neither[G3383] by heaven[G3772], neither[G3383] by the earth[G1093], neither[G3383] by any[G5100]other[G243]oath[G3727]: but[G1161]let[G2277]your[G5216]yea[G3483]be[G2277]yea[G3483]; and[G2532]your[G5216]nay[G3756], nay[G3756]; lest[G3363] ye fall[G4098]into[G1519]condemnation[G5272].
13Is[G2553]any[G5100]among[G1722]you[G5213]afflicted?[G2553] let him pray[G4336]. Is[G2114]any[G5100]merry?[G2114] let him sing psalms[G5567].
14Is[G770]any[G5100]sick[G770]among[G1722]you?[G5213] let him[G846]call[G4341] for the elders[G4245] of the church[G1577]; and[G2532] let them pray[G4336]over[G1909]him[G846], anointing[G218]him[G846] with oil[G1637]in[G1722] the name[G3686] of the Lord[G2962]:
15And[G2532] the prayer[G2171] of faith[G4102] shall save[G4982] the sick[G2577], and[G2532] the Lord[G2962] shall raise[G1453]him[G846]up[G1453]; and[G2532]if[G2579] he have[G5600]committed[G4160]sins[G266], they shall be forgiven[G863]him[G846].
16Confess[G1843] your faults[G3900]one[G240] to another[G240], and[G2532]pray[G2172]one[G240]for[G5228]another[G240], that[G3704] ye may be healed[G2390]. The effectual fervent[G1754]prayer[G1162] of a righteous man[G1342]availeth[G2480]much[G4183].
17Elias[G2243]was[G2258] a man[G444] subject to like passions as[G3663] we are[G2254], and[G2532] he prayed[G4336]earnestly[G4335] that it might[G1026]not[G3361]rain[G1026]: and[G2532] it rained[G1026]not[G3756]on[G1909] the earth[G1093] by the space of three[G5140]years[G1763]and[G2532]six[G1803]months[G3376].
18And[G2532] he prayed[G4336]again[G3825], and[G2532] the heaven[G3772]gave[G1325]rain[G5205], and[G2532] the earth[G1093] brought forth[G985]her[G846]fruit[G2590].
19Brethren[G80], if[G1437]any[G5100]of[G1722]you[G5213] do err[G4105]from[G575] the truth[G225], and[G2532]one[G5100]convert[G1994]him[G846];
20Let[G1097]him[G846]know[G1097], that[G3754] he which converteth[G1994] the sinner[G268]from[G1537] the error[G4106] of his[G846]way[G3598] shall save[G4982] a soul[G5590]from[G1537]death[G2288], and[G2532] shall hide[G2572] a multitude[G4128] of sins[G266].
