Therefore be patient, ^(m)brethren, ⁽ⁿ⁾until the coming of the Lord. ^(o)The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until ^[d]it gets ^(p)the early and late rains.

^(q)You too be patient; ^(r)strengthen your hearts, for ^(s)the coming of the Lord is ^(t)near.

^(u)Do not ^[e]complain, ^(v)brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, ^(w)the Judge is standing ^[f](x)right at the ^[g]door.

As an example, ^(y)brethren, of suffering and patience, take ^(z)the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

We count those ^(aa)blessed who endured. You have heard of ^(ab)the ^[h]endurance of Job and have seen ^(ac)the ^[i]outcome of the Lord's dealings, that ^(ad)the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
