James 5



 1. Go <0033-age-> to now <3568-nun->, [ye] rich <4145-plousios-
> men, weep <2799-klaio-> and howl <3649-ololuzo-> for your 
<5216-humon-> miseries <5004-talaiporia-> that shall come <1904-
eperchomai-> upon [you].



 2 Your <5216-humon-> riches <4149-ploutos-> are corrupted <4595-
sepo->, and your <5216-humon-> garments <2440-himation-> are 
motheaten <4598-setobrotos->.



 3 Your <5216-humon-> gold <5557-chrusos-> and silver <0696-
arguros-> is cankered <2728-katioo->; and the rust <2447-ios-> 
of them shall be a witness <3142-marturion-> against <2596-kata-
> you, and shall eat <5315-phago-> your <5216-humon-> flesh 
<4561-sarx-> as it were fire <4442-pur->. Ye have heaped <2343-
thesaurizo-> treasure <2343-thesaurizo-> together for the last 
<2078-eschatos-> days <2250-hemera->.



 4 Behold <2400-idou->, the hire <3408-misthos-> of the 
labourers <2040-ergates-> who <3588-ho-> have reaped <0270-amao-
> down your <5216-humon-> fields <5561-chora->, which <3588-ho-> 
is of you kept <0650-apostereo-> back <0650-apostereo-> by fraud 
<0650-apostereo->, crieth <2896-krazo->: and the cries <0995-boe-
> of them which have reaped <2325-therizo-> are entered <1525-
eiserchomai-> into <1519-eis-> the ears <3775-ous-> of the Lord 
<2962-kurios-> of sabaoth <4519-sabaoth->.



 5 Ye have lived <5171-truphao-> in pleasure <5171-truphao-> on 
<1909-epi-> the earth <1093-ge->, and been wanton <4684-spatalao-
>; ye have nourished <5142-trepho-> your <5216-humon-> hearts 
<2588-kardia->, as in a day <2250-hemera-> of slaughter <4967-
sphage->.



 6 Ye have condemned <2613-katadikazo-> [and] killed <5407-
phoneuo-> the just <1342-dikaios->; [and] he doth not resist 
<0498-antitassomai-> you.



 7 Be patient <3114-makrothumeo-> therefore <3767-oun->, 
brethren <0080-adephos->, unto the coming <3952-parousia-> of 
the Lord <2962-kurios->. Behold <2400-idou->, the husbandman 
<1092-georgos-> waiteth <1551-ekdechomai-> for the precious 
<5093-timios-> fruit <2590-karpos-> of the earth <1093-ge->, and 
hath long <3114-makrothumeo-> patience <3114-makrothumeo-> for 
it, until <2193-heos-> he receive <2983-lambano-> the early 
<4406-proimos-> and latter <3797-opsimos-> rain <5205-huetos->.



 8 Be ye also <2532-kai-> patient <3114-makrothumeo->; stablish 
<4741-sterizo-> your <5216-humon-> hearts <2588-kardia->: for 
the coming <3952-parousia-> of the Lord <2962-kurios-> draweth 
nigh <1448-eggizo->.



 9 Grudge <4727-stenazo-> not one <0240-allelon-> against <2596-
kata-> another <0240-allelon->, brethren <0080-adephos->, lest 
<3361-me-> ye be condemned <2632-katakrino->: behold <2400-idou-
>, the judge <2923-krites-> standeth <2476-histemi-> before 
<4253-pro-> the door <2374-thura->.



 10 Take <2983-lambano->, my brethren <0080-adephos->, the 
prophets <4396-prophetes->, who <3739-hos-> have spoken <2980-
laleo-> in the name <3686-onoma-> of the Lord <2962-kurios->, 
for an example <5262-hupodeigma-> of suffering <2552-kakopatheia-
> affliction <2552-kakopatheia->, and of patience <3115-
makrothumia->.



 11 Behold <2400-idou->, we count <3106-makarizo-> them happy 
<3106-makarizo-> which endure <5278-hupomeno->. Ye have heard 
<0191-akouo-> of the patience <5281-hupomone-> of Job <2492-Iob-
>, and have seen <1492-eido-> the end <5056-telos-> of the Lord 
<2962-kurios->; that the Lord <2962-kurios-> is very <4184-
polusplagchnos-> pitiful <4184-polusplagchnos->, and of tender 
<3629-oiktirmon-> mercy <3629-oiktirmon->.



 12. But above <4253-pro-> all <3956-pas-> things, my brethren 
<0080-adephos->, swear <3660-omnuo-> not, neither <3383-mete-> 
by heaven <3772-ouranos->, neither <3383-mete-> by the earth 
<1093-ge->, neither <3383-mete-> by any <5100-tis-> other <0243-
allos-> oath <3727-horkos->: but let your <5216-humon-> yea 
<3483-nai-> be yea <3483-nai->; and [your <3588-ho->] nay <3756-
ou->, nay <3756-ou->; lest <3361-me-> ye fall <4098-pipto-> into 
<5259-hupo-> condemnation <5272-hupokrisis->.



 13 Is any <5100-tis-> among <1722-en-> you afflicted <2553-
kakopatheo->? let him pray <4336-proseuchomai->. Is any <5100-
tis-> merry <2114-euthumeo->? let him sing <5567-psallo-> psalms 
<5567-psallo->.



 14 Is any <5100-tis-> sick <0770-astheneo-> among <1722-en-> 
you? let him call <4341-proskaleomai-> for the elders <4245-
presbuteros-> of the church <1577-ekklesia->; and let them pray 
<4336-proseuchomai-> over <1909-epi-> him, anointing <0218-
aleipho-> him with oil <1637-elaion-> in the name <3686-onoma-> 
of the Lord <2962-kurios->:



 15 And the prayer <2171-euche-> of faith <4102-pistis-> shall 
save <4982-sozo-> the sick <2577-kamno->, and the Lord <2962-
kurios-> shall raise <1453-egeiro-> him up; and if he have 
committed <4160-poieo-> sins <0266-hamartia->, they shall be 
forgiven <0863-aphiemi-> him.



 16 Confess <1843-exomologeo-> [your <3588-ho->] faults <3900-
paraptoma-> one <0240-allelon-> to another <0240-allelon->, and 
pray <2172-euchomai-> one <0240-allelon-> for another <0240-
allelon->, that ye may be healed <2390-iaomai->. The effectual 
<1754-energeo-> fervent prayer <1162-deesis-> of a righteous 
<1342-dikaios-> man availeth <2480-ischuo-> much <4183-polus->.



 17 Elias <2243-Helias-> was a man <0444-anthropos-> subject 
<3663-homoiopathes-> to like <3663-homoiopathes-> passions <3663-
homoiopathes-> as we are, and he prayed <4336-proseuchomai-> 
earnestly <4335-proseuche-> that it might not rain <1026-brecho-
>: and it rained <1026-brecho-> not on <1909-epi-> the earth 
<1093-ge-> by the space of three <5140-treis-> years <1763-
eniautos-> and six <1803-hex-> months <3376-men->.



 18 And he prayed <4336-proseuchomai-> again <3825-palin->, and 
the heaven <3772-ouranos-> gave <1325-didomi-> rain <5205-huetos-
>, and the earth <1093-ge-> brought <0985-blastano-> forth <0985-
blastano-> her fruit <2590-karpos->.



 19 Brethren <0080-adephos->, if <1437-ean-> any <1536-ei tis-> 
of you do err <4105-planao-> from the truth <0225-aletheia->, 
and one <5100-tis-> convert <1994-epistrepho-> him;



 20 Let him know <1097-ginosko->, that he which converteth <1994-
epistrepho-> the sinner <0268-hamartolos-> from the error <4106-
plane-> of his way <3598-hodos-> shall save <4982-sozo-> a soul 
<5590-psuche-> from death <2288-thanatos->, and shall hide <2572-
kalupto-> a multitude <4128-plethos-> of sins <0266-hamartia->.
