Come then, ye rich, weep, howling over your miseries that are coming on.
Your wealth is corrupted, and your garments are become moth-eaten.
Your gold and [your] silver are rusted through, and their rust shall be for a witness to you, and shall eat your flesh as fire. Ye laid up treasure in [the] last days.
Behold, the hire of the labourers who reaped your fields, that is kept back of you crieth out, and the cries of those that reaped entered into the ears of Jehovah of hosts.
Ye lived luxuriously on the earth and indulged yourselves; ye nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.
Ye condemned, ye slew the just one; he doth not resist you.
Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient for it, until it receive early and latter rain.
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Murmur not, brethren, one against another, that ye be not judged. Behold, the judge standeth before the door.
Take, brethren, [for] an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of [the] Lord.
Behold, we call them blessed who endured. Ye heard of the endurance of Job, and saw [the] Lord’s end; for the Lord is full of compassion, and merciful.
But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and nay nay, lest ye fall under judgment.
Doth any among you suffer trouble? Let him pray. Is any happy? Let him sing praise.
Is any sick among you? Let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil, in the name of the Lord.
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him.
Confess therefore your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. A righteous [one’s] supplication hath much power if it work.
Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed prayerfully that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.
And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth sprouted forth its fruit.
My brethren, if any among you should err from the truth, and one turn him back,
let him know that he that turneth back a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
