James 5:12-14

Worldwide English (New Testament)

¹² My brothers, here is something that matters very much. When you make a promise do not ask heaven to hear it, or the earth, or any other thing. When you mean `Yes,' just say, `Yes.' And when you mean `No,' just say, `No.' If you do that, you will not be judged.

¹³ Is any one of you in trouble? He should talk to God about it. Is any one of you happy? He should sing songs of praise to God.

¹⁴ Is any one of you sick? He should call for the leaders of the church people. They should talk to God about him and put oil on him in the name of the Lord.
