1
Warning to the Rich
You rich people should cry and weep! Terrible things are going to happen to you.
Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2 Your treasures have already rotted, and moths have eaten your clothes. Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3 Your money has rusted, and the rust will be evidence against you, as it burns your body like fire. Yet you keep on storing up wealth in these last days. Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.
4 You refused to pay the people who worked in your fields, and now their unpaid wages are shouting out against you. The Lord All-Powerful has surely heard the cries of the workers who harvested your crops. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.
5 While here on earth, you have thought only of filling your own stomachs and having a good time. But now you are like fat cattle on their way to be butchered. Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6 You have condemned and murdered innocent people, who couldn't even fight back. Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7
Be Patient and Kind
My friends, be patient until the Lord returns. Think of farmers who wait patiently for the autumn and spring rains to make their valuable crops grow.
Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.
8 Be patient like those farmers and don't give up. The Lord will soon be here! Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9 Don't grumble about each other or you will be judged, and the judge is right outside the door. Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10 My friends, follow the example of the prophets who spoke for the Lord. They were patient, even when they had to suffer. Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11 In fact, we praise the ones who endured the most. You remember how patient Job was and how the Lord finally helped him. The Lord did this because he is so merciful and kind. Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
12 My friends, above all else, don't take an oath. You must not swear by heaven or by earth or by anything else. “Yes” or “No” is all you need to say. If you say anything more, you will be condemned. But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
13 If you are having trouble, you should pray. And if you are feeling good, you should sing praises. Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14 If you are sick, ask the church leaders to come and pray for you. Ask them to put olive oil on you in the name of the Lord. Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15 If you have faith when you pray for sick people, they will get well. The Lord will heal them, and if they have sinned, he will forgive them. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16 If you have sinned, you should tell each other what you have done. Then you can pray for one another and be healed. The prayer of an innocent person is powerful, and it can help a lot. Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
17 Elijah was just as human as we are, and for three and a half years his prayers kept the rain from falling. Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18 But when he did pray for rain, it fell from the skies and made the crops grow. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19 My friends, if any followers have wandered away from the truth, you should try to lead them back. Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20 If you turn sinners from the wrong way, you will save them from death, and many of their sins will be forgiven. Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.
