5

Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.

Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud, crieth: and the cries of them which have reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of sabaoth.

Your gold and silver is cankered; and the rust of them shall be a witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were fire. Ye have heaped treasure together for the last days.

Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.

Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe.

For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat.

Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.

Called of God an high priest after the order of Melchisedec.

And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him;

Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things which he suffered;

Who in the days of his flesh, when he had offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and was heard in that he feared;

As he saith also in another place, Thou art a priest for ever after the order of Melchisedec.

So also Christ glorified not himself to be made an high priest; but he that said unto him, Thou art my Son, to day have I begotten thee.

And no man taketh this honour unto himself, but he that is called of God, as was Aaron.

And by reason hereof he ought, as for the people, so also for himself, to offer for sins.

Who can have compassion on the ignorant, and on them that are out of the way; for that he himself also is compassed with infirmity.

For every high priest taken from among men is ordained for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins:

Likewise also the good works of some are manifest beforehand; and they that are otherwise cannot be hid.

Some men"s sins are open beforehand, going before to judgment; and some men they follow after.

Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach"s sake and thine often infirmities.

Lay hands suddenly on no man, neither be partaker of other men"s sins: keep thyself pure.

I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, and the elect angels, that thou observe these things without preferring one before another, doing nothing by partiality.

Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear.

Against an elder receive not an accusation, but before two or three witnesses.
