7
Be patient, therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient over it until it receives the early and the late rain.
8
You also be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
9
Do not grumble, brethren, against one another, that you may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing at the doors.
10
As an example of suffering and patience, brethren, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
