James 5:7-9

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

Patience in Suffering

⁷ 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. ⁸ You also must be patient. Strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.^{[b] 9} Beloved,^[c] do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See, the Judge is standing at the doors!
