James 5:12 in Context — James 5
10 Meus irmãos, tomai como exemplo de aflições e de paciência os profetas que falaram no nome do Senhor.
11 Eis que considerarmos benditos os que suportam o sofrimento. Ouvistes da paciência de Jó, e vistes o resultado da parte do Senhor; porque o Senhor é muito misericordioso, e cheio de compaixão.
12 Mas, acima de tudo, meus irmãos, não jureis, nem pelo céu nem pela terra, nem [façais] qualquer outro juramento. Mas que de vós o sim seja sim, e o não, não; para que não caiais em condenação.
13 Alguém entre vós está aflito? Ore. Alguém está contente? Cante louvores.
14 Alguém entre vós está doente? Chame os anciãos da igreja, e orem sobre ele, ungindo-o com azeite no nome do Senhor.
