Patience in Suffering

Be patient, therefore, beloved,[a] until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.[b] Beloved,[c] do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See, the Judge is standing at the doors!

Do not [b]grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be [c]condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!
