5:10 As an
example of
suffering and patience,
brothers and sisters,
take the
prophets who spoke in the
Lord’s name.
11 Think of how we
regard as blessed those who have
endured. You have
heard of
Job’s endurance and you have
seen the
Lord’s purpose,
that the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
12 And above all,
my brothers and sisters,
do
not swear,
either by
heaven or by
earth or by
any other oath.
But let
your “
Yes”
be yes and your “
No”
be no,
so that you may
not fall into judgment.
