Book of James

[bloodbought09]

James 5:7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord, Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:8 Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:9 Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:12 But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, lest ye fall into condemnation.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:13 Is any among you afflicted: let him pray. Is any merry: let him sing psalms.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:18 And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:19 Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;

 

[bloodbought09]

James 5:20 Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

WHEW! THE END!

WHEW! THE END!

Your posting the verses from the book of James has convinced me of four things...

1) You're unaware of how difficult it is to read verse-by-verse in multiple posts
2) I'm sure that most everyone on this forum has a bible and can read it themselves
3) I do NOT like the King James translation
4) The original format of the book of James and all the other books of the bible was NOT verse-by-verse, which alters the meaning

There is actually some question as to whether the original version of James was even written by a Christian given that there is almost no direct reference made to the teachings of Christ throughout the book.
