James 5:11 in Context — James 5

9 Ne vous plaignez pas les uns des autres, frères, afin que vous ne soyez pas jugés: voici, le juge est à la porte.

10 Prenez, mes frères, pour modèles de souffrance et de patience les prophètes qui ont parlé au nom du Seigneur.

11 Voici, nous disons bienheureux ceux qui ont souffert patiemment. Vous avez entendu parler de la patience de Job, et vous avez vu la fin que le Seigneur lui accorda, car le Seigneur est plein de miséricorde et de compassion.

12 Avant toutes choses, mes frères, ne jurez ni par le ciel, ni par la terre, ni par aucun autre serment. Mais que votre oui soit oui, et que votre non soit non, afin que vous ne tombiez pas sous le jugement.

13 Quelqu’un parmi vous est-il dans la souffrance? Qu’il prie. Quelqu’un est-il dans la joie? Qu’il chante des cantiques.
