James 5:9-11

Easy-to-Read Version

⁹ Brothers and sisters, don’t complain against each other. If you don’t stop complaining, you will be judged guilty. And the Judge is ready to come!

¹⁰ Brothers and sisters, follow the example of the prophets who spoke for the Lord. They suffered many bad things, but they were patient. ¹¹ And we say that those who accepted their troubles with patience now have God’s blessing. You have heard about Job’s patience.^[a] You know that after all his troubles, the Lord helped him. This shows that the Lord is full of mercy and is kind.
