James 5:7-9

Patience in Suffering

⁷ Be patient, therefore, brothers, ₁ until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives _k the early and the late rains. ⁸ You also, be patient. _l Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord _m is at hand. ⁹ Do not grumble against one another, brothers, _n so that you may not be judged; behold, _o the Judge is standing _p at the door.
