7. Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the advent of the Lord. Consider that the farmer anticipates the precious fruit of the earth, waiting patiently, until he receives the early and the late rains.
8. Therefore, you too should be patient and should strengthen your hearts. For the advent of the Lord draws near.
9. Brothers, do not complain against one another, so that you may not be judged. Behold, the judge stands before the door.
10. My brothers, consider the Prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of departing from evil, of labor, and of patience.
11. Consider that we beatify those who have endured. You have heard of the patient suffering of Job. And you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
12. But before all things, my brothers, do not choose to swear, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor in any other oath. But let your word 'Yes' be yes, and your word 'No' be no, so that you may not fall under judgment.
13. Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he even-tempered? Let him sing psalms.
14. Is anyone ill among you? Let him bring in the priests of the Church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
15. And a prayer of faith will save the infirm, and the Lord will alleviate him. And if he has sins, these will be forgiven him.
