James 5:12

Overview - James 5
Wicked rich men are to fear God's vengeance.
We ought to be patient in afflictions, after the example of the prophets, and Job;
12 to forbear swearing;
13 to pray in adversity, to sing in prosperity;
14 to acknowledge mutually our several faults, to pray one for another;
19 and to reduce a straying brother to the truth.
