James 5:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ You have ·judged guilty [condemned] and then murdered innocent people, who ·were not against [did not resist/oppose] you.

Be Patient

⁷ [^LTherefore] Brothers and sisters [^Cfellow believers], be patient until the Lord comes again. [^LSee; ^TBehold,] A farmer patiently waits for his ·valuable [precious] ·crop [fruit] to grow from the earth and for it to receive the ·autumn and spring [^Learly and late] rains [Deut. 11:14]. ⁸ You, too, must be patient. ·Do not give up hope [^LStrengthen your hearts], because ·the Lord is coming soon [^Lthe Lord’s coming draws near/is at hand].
