24 And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. 22 The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 20 And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints,ġ9 “There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. 16 In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one 17 and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, 18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. 14 Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and having put on the breastplate of righteousness, 15 and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. 18 Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.ġ9 My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.ġ0 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. 16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 15 And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. 14 Is anyone among you sick? 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. You have heard of the steadfastness of Job, and you have seen the purpose of the Lord, how the Lord is compassionate and merciful.ġ2 But above all, my brothers, 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 under condemnation.ġ3 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. 11 Behold, we consider those blessed who remained steadfast. 10 As an example of suffering and patience, brothers, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 9 Do not grumble against one another, brothers, so that you may not be judged behold, the Judge is standing at the door. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. He does not resist you.ħ Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. 6 You have condemned and murdered the righteous person. You have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter. 5 You have lived on the earth in luxury and in self-indulgence. 4 Behold, the wages of the laborers who mowed your fields, which you kept back by fraud, are crying out against you, and the cries of the harvesters have reached the ears of the Lord of hosts. You have laid up treasure in the last days. 3 Your gold and silver have corroded, and their corrosion will be evidence against you and will eat your flesh like fire. 2 Your riches have rotted and your garments are moth-eaten. 5:1 Come now, you rich, weep and howl for the miseries that are coming upon you.
