But let patience have a perfect work, that you may be perfect and entire, lacking in nothing.

My brothers, have not the faith of our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with a respect of persons.

For he shall have judgment without mercy who shows not mercy; mercy rejoices over judgment.

But some one will say, You have faith, and I have works; show me your faith without works, and I will show you my faith by works.

But if you have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, boast not and lie not against the truth.

You desire and have not; you kill, and envy, and cannot obtain; you fight and carry on war. You have not, because you do not ask;

Your riches have decayed, and your garments are moth-eaten,

your gold and silver are destroyed with rust, and their rust will be a witness against you, and consume your flesh like fire. You have laid up treasures for the last days.

Behold, the wages of the laborers who harvested your fields, kept back by you, cry, and the loud calls of the reapers have entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

You have lived in luxury on the earth and in pleasure, you have nourished your hearts in a day of slaughter.

You have condemned and killed the just, and he does not resist you.

Do you also have long patience, confirm your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.

You have the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord, my brothers, as an example of patience and long-suffering.

Behold, we account them blessed who are patient. You have heard of the patience of Job, and you know the purpose of the Lord, that he is very merciful and compassionate.
