Santiago 5:10 Meaning and Commentary

James 5:10

Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the
name of the Lord
Men who have been highly honoured of God, with a gift of prophesying, or foretelling things to come; to whom God revealed his secrets, doing nothing without acquainting them with it; and who were sent forth by him, and prophesied in his name what were made known unto them; and yet, though these were his favourites, they suffered much; as cruel mockings, scourgings, imprisonment, famine, nakedness, and death in various shapes; some being stoned, others sawn asunder, and others killed by the sword; all which they endured with incredible patience. And therefore the apostle proposes them to be taken,

for an example suffering affliction, and of patience;
their afflictions were many and great, and yet they were very patient under them; and through faith and patience they went through them, and now inherit the promises; and so are a very proper example and pattern for New Testament saints to follow and copy after.

11 En verdad, consideramos dichosos a los que perseveraron. Ustedes han oído hablar de la perseverancia de Job, y han visto lo que al final le dio el Señor. Es que el Señor es muy compasivo y misericordioso.

12 Sobre todo, hermanos míos, no juren ni por el cielo ni por la tierra ni por ninguna otra cosa. Que su «sí» sea «sí», y su «no», «no», para que no sean condenados.
