James 5

The last chapter of James, especially verses 7-20, serve as a wrapping-up of themes discussed earlier.



Hard Evidence (James 5:1-6)

James rails at the rich who have fattened themselves at the expense of the poor. He tells them they have only prepared themselves for the coming day of slaughter.

Patience (James 5:7-11)

Black and White (James 5:12)

"Let your 'Yes' be yes and your 'No' be no."

Proper Responses (James 5:13-18)

 "Are any among you suffering? They should pray. Are any cheerful? They should sing songs of praise."
