You have put by your store in the last days. |

Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receiveth the early and the latter rain. | Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come. |
| James 5:8 | *Ye* also have patience: stablish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is drawn nigh. | Be ye also patient; establish your hearts; for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. | Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near. |

| James 5:11 | Behold, we call them blessed who have endured. Ye have heard of the endurance of Job, and seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is full of tender compassion and pitiful. | Behold, we count them happy who 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. | We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end. |
| James 5:12 | But before all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, nor by the earth, nor by any other oath; but let your yea be yea, and your nay, nay, that ye do not fall under judgment. | 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. | But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged. |
| James 5:13 | Does any one among you suffer evil? let him pray. Is any happy? let him sing psalms. | Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any cheerful? let him sing psalms. | Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise. |
| James 5:14 | Is any sick among you? let him call to [him] the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil 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: | Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord. |
| James 5:15 | and the prayer of faith shall heal the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he be one who has committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. | And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; and if he hath committed sins, they will be forgiven him. | And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness. |
| James 5:16 | Confess therefore your offences to one another, and pray for one another, that ye may be healed. [The] fervent supplication of the righteous [man] has much power. | Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of the righteous man availeth much. | So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working. |
| James 5:17 | Elias was a man of like passions to us, and he prayed with prayer that it should not rain; and it did not rain upon the earth three years and six months; | Elijah 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. | Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months. |
| James 5:18 | and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth caused its fruit to spring forth. | And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth its fruit. | And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit. |

| James 5:20 | let him know that he that brings back a sinner from [the] error of his way shall save a soul from death and shall cover a multitude of sins. | Let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death, and will hide a multitude of sins. | Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number. |
