\subsection{James 5}
|
|
\VS{1} Come now, O rich, [your] sins are upon you. Come now, O rich, weep crying out over
|
|
your approaching misery.
|
|
\VS{2} Your riches are becoming corrupt and your
|
|
garments have become moth-eaten.
|
|
\VS{3} Your gold and silver may become
|
|
tarnished and its rust will be for [a] witness to you and will consume your
|
|
flesh like fire.
|
|
\VS{4} You stored up treasure in [the] last days. Behold the
|
|
wage of the [ones] working, mowing your land, the [one] having been kept back by you, cries out; and the shout of those having reaped has entered into the ear of
|
|
[the] Lord of sabaoth.
|
|
\VS{5} You caroused upon the land and lived riotously,
|
|
you nourished your hearts in [the] day of slaughter.
|
|
\VS{6} You condemned, you
|
|
murdered the just, he does not resist you.
|
|
\VS{7} Be patient, therefore,
|
|
brothers, until the coming of the Lord. Behold the husbandman awaits the
|
|
precious fruit of the land, being patient upon it until it receive early rain and late
|
|
rain.
|
|
\VS{8} You also be patient, make fast your hearts, because the coming
|
|
of [the] Lord has come near.
|
|
|
|
\VS{9} Be not groaning, brothers, against one another in order that you not
|
|
be judged.
|
|
\VS{10} Behold the judge stands before the door. Receive [my]
|
|
example, brothers, of the evil-suffering and the patience [of] the prophets who
|
|
spoke in the name of the Lord.
|
|
\VS{11} Behold we consider blessed those
|
|
having endured. Hear the patience of Job and the purpose of [the] Lord. You know
|
|
that the Lord is very pitying and merciful.
|
|
\VS{12} But before all, my brothers, do not be swearing, neither by heaven nor [the]
|
|
land nor any other oath; but [of you], let your yes be yes and [your] no no,
|
|
that you not fall under judgment.
|
|
|
|
\VS{13} Does anyone suffer evil among you? Let\fnImperative{}
|
|
him be praying. Is anyone of good cheer? Let\fnImperative{} him be
|
|
singing. Is anyone among you sick?
|
|
\VS{14} Let\fnImperative{} him call
|
|
forth the elders of the assembly\fnEkklhsia{}, and let\fnImperative{} them pray over
|
|
him, having anointed [him] with oil in the name of the Lord.
|
|
\VS{15} And the prayer of faith will save the ill [one], and the Lord will raise him.
|
|
\VS{16} And if he have committed sin, it shall be forgiven him.
|
|
The prayer of [a] just man is very strong being energized.
|
|
\VS{17} Therefore confess [you] sins to one
|
|
another, and be praying for one another, that you be healed. Elijah was [a] man
|
|
like in every way to us, and he prayed with prayer that it not rain, and it
|
|
did not rain upon the land three years and six months.
|
|
\VS{18} And again he
|
|
prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its fruit.
|
|
|
|
\VS{19} My brothers, if any among you strays from the truth and anyone turns
|
|
him back,
|
|
\VS{20} be knowing this, that the [one] having turned [a] sinner out of
|
|
[the] error of his way will save his psyche-life\fnPsyche{} from death, and will cover [a] multitude
|
|
of sins.
