James 5:8 — 1 Peter 1:9

8 You also be ¹long-suffering; ^aestablish your hearts because the ^2bcoming of the Lord has drawn ^cnear.

9 Do not ¹complain, brothers, against ^aone another lest you be ^bjudged. Behold, the ^2cJudge stands before the ^ddoors.

10 As an example, brothers, of ¹suffering evil and of ²long-suffering, take the ^aprophets, who spoke ³in the ^bname of the Lord.

11 Behold, we call those who ¹endured ^ablessed. You have heard of the endurance of ^bJob, and you have seen his ^cend from the Lord, that the Lord is very tenderhearted and ^dcompassionate.

12 But ¹above all things, my brothers, do ²not swear, neither by heaven nor by earth nor with any other oath; but let your ³yes be yes, and your no, no, ⁴lest you fall under ^ajudgment.

13 Does anyone among you suffer evil? Let him ¹pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him ^2asing praise.

14 Is anyone among you ¹ill? Let him ²call for the ^aelders of the ^bchurch, and let them pray over him, ^3canointing him with oil ⁴in the ^dname of the Lord.

15 And the ¹prayer of ^afaith will save the one who is ^2bsick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he has ³committed sins, it will be ^cforgiven him.

16 Therefore ^aconfess your sins to one another and pray for one another that you may be ^bhealed. The ^cpetition of a righteous man ¹avails much in its working.

17 ^aElijah was a man of ^blike feeling with us, and he ¹earnestly prayed that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

18 And he prayed again, and heaven gave ^arain, and the earth sprouted forth with its fruit.

19 My ^abrothers, if any one among you is ^1bled astray from the ^ctruth and someone ^dturns him back,

20 Let him know that he who turns a ¹sinner back from the error of his way will ^2asave that one’s soul from ³death and will ^4bcover a multitude of ⁵sins.

CHAPTER 1

1 ^1aPeter, an ^2bapostle of Jesus Christ, to the ^3csojourners of the ^4ddispersion of ^5ePontus, ^fGalatia, Cappadocia, ^gAsia, and ^hBithynia,

2 ^1aChosen ²according to the ^3bforeknowledge of God the Father ⁴in the ^5csanctification of the Spirit ⁶unto the ^7dobedience and ^8esprinkling of the ⁹blood of Jesus Christ: ¹⁰Grace to you and ¹¹peace be ^12fmultiplied.

3 ^1aBlessed be the ²God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great ^3bmercy has ^4cregenerated us ⁵unto a ⁶living ^dhope ⁷through the ^eresurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

4 ¹Unto an ^2ainheritance, ³incorruptible and undefiled and ^bunfading, ^4ckept in the heavens for you,

5 Who are being ^1aguarded ²by the power of God ³through faith ⁴unto a ⁵salvation ready to be ^brevealed at the ^6clast time;

6 In which ¹time you ^aexult, though for a ^blittle while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various ^2ctrials,

7 So that the ^1aproving of your faith, ²much more ³precious than of gold which perishes though it is ^bproved by fire, may be found ⁴unto ^cpraise and ^dglory and honor at the ^5erevelation of Jesus Christ;

8 Whom having not ^aseen, you ^1blove; ²into whom though not seeing Him at present, yet ^3cbelieving, you ^dexult with ⁴joy that is unspeakable and ⁴full of glory,

9 ¹Receiving the end of your faith, the ^asalvation of your ^2bsouls.
