Chapter 5

¹ Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl in your miseries, which shall come upon you.
² Your riches are corrupted: and your garments are motheaten.
³ Your gold and silver is cankered: and the rust of them shall be for a testimony against you, and shall eat your flesh like fire. You have stored up to yourselves wrath against the last days.
⁴ Behold the hire of the labourers, who have reaped down your fields, which by fraud has been kept back by you, crieth: and the cry of them hath entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
⁵ You have feasted upon earth: and in riotousness you have nourished your hearts, in the day of slaughter.
⁶ You have condemned and put to death the Just One, and he resisted you not.
⁷ Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain.
⁸ Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
⁹ Grudge not, brethren, one against another, that you may not be judged. Behold the judge standeth before the door.
¹⁰ Take, my brethren, for an example of suffering evil, of labour and patience, the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord.
¹¹ Behold, we account them blessed who have endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you have seen the end of the Lord, that the Lord is merciful and compassionate.
¹² But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath. But let your speech be, yea, yea: no, no: that you fall not under judgment.
¹³ Is any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.
¹⁴ Is any man sick 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 the prayer of faith shall save the sick man: and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him.
¹⁶ Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a just man availeth much.
¹⁷ Elias was a man passible like unto us: and with prayer he prayed that it might not rain upon the earth, and it rained not for three years and six months.
¹⁸ And he prayed again: and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
¹⁹ My brethren, if any of you err from the truth, and one convert him:
²⁰ He must know that he who causeth a sinner to be converted from the error of his way, shall save his soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.

Chapter 5

¹ Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.
² Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.
³ Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.
⁴ See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.
⁵ You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.
⁶ You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.
⁷ Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.
⁸ Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.
⁹ Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.
¹⁰ Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.
¹¹ We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.
¹² But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged.
¹³ Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.
¹⁴ Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.
¹⁵ And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.
¹⁶ So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.
¹⁷ Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.
¹⁸ And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.
¹⁹ My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,
²⁰ Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.
