James 5:5-7

Good News Translation

⁵ Your life here on earth has been full of luxury and pleasure. You have made yourselves fat for the day of slaughter. ^6 (A)You have condemned and murdered innocent people, and they do not resist you.^[a]

Patience and Prayer

⁷ Be patient, then, my friends, until the Lord comes. See how patient farmers are as they wait for their land to produce precious crops. They wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains.
