James 5:10

Exhortation To Patience

⁹ Do not grumble against one another, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be judged. See, the judge stands before the gates! ¹⁰ As an example of suffering and patience, brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord's name. ¹¹ Think of how we regard as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job's endurance and you have seen the Lord's purpose, that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
