10. For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

12. But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned.
13. Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises.
