7 Have patience, therefore, brethren, till the coming of the Lord. Behold, the labourer awaits the precious fruit of the earth, having patience for it until it receive [the] early and [the] latter rain.

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.
8 *Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh.
8
You too, be patient and stand firm, because the Lord’s coming is near.
