5 Vivestes em luxo sobre a terra, e tivestes prazeres. Engordastes os vossos corações como num dia de matança.

6 Condenastes [e] matastes o justo; ele não vos resistiu.

7 Portanto, irmãos, sede pacientes até a vinda do Senhor. Eis que o lavrador espera o precioso fruto da terra, aguardando-o com paciência, até que receba a primeira chuva e a chuva tardia.

8 Sede vós também pacientes. Fortalecei os vossos corações, porque a vinda do Senhor está próxima.

9 Irmãos, não vos queixeis uns contra os outros, para que não sejais condenados. Eis que o Juiz está à porta.
