James 5:8-14
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 5
8
You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.
9
Do not complain, brothers
and sisters,
against one another, so that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.
10
As an example, brothers
and sisters,
of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
11
We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and
is
merciful.
12
But above all, my brothers
and sisters,
do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment.
13
Is anyone among you suffering?
Then
he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.
14
Is anyone among you sick?
Then
he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;
King James Version

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11
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.
12
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.
13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14
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:
