Strengthen your hearts, because the Lord’s coming is near.Brothers and sisters, do not complain about one another, so that you will not be judged. Look, the judge stands at the door!Brothers and sisters, take the prophets who spoke in the Lord’s name as an example of suffering and patience.See, we count as blessed those who have endured. You have heard of Job’s endurance and have seen the outcome that the Lord brought about— the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
