1
Go to now, ye rich men, weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you.
2
Your riches are corrupted, and your garments are motheaten.
3
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.
4
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.
5
Ye have lived in pleasure on the earth, and been wanton; ye have nourished your hearts, as in a day of slaughter.
6
Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.
7
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.

8
Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
9
Grudge not one against another, brethren, lest ye be condemned: behold, the judge standeth before the door.
10
Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have spoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of suffering affliction, and of patience.
11
Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
12
But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
13
Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
14
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
15
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
16
Confess your faults one to
another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

17
Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.
18
And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
19
Brethren, if any of you do err from the truth, and one convert him;
20
Let him know, that he which converteth the sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall hide a multitude of sins.

Summary chapter 5; The Prayer of Faith James instructed his people to not only ask for prayer, but to also be available to pray for the sick because they also need prayers. He said that the prayer offered in faith will heal the sick. He asked the people to confess their sins so that they could be forgiven by those whom they have wronged.

Prayer request corner; One is to pray for the U.S. while they go through some real big changes. Second, please pray for the country of Ethiopia, which is a christian country mostly. There is a lot of controversy over their voting and the pandemic is very bad there as well. Pray for their citizens and their people.

closing prayer; Heavenly Father, We ask others to pray for us and give us guidance but do we come to you with our troubles by ourselves? Oh, Lord, help us not forget that you are always there and asking to carry our burdens for us. May we go to you when we feel burdened and allow you to carry them. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

For those who wish to become a child of our heavenly Lord, or strengthen thier faith, please pray the following prayer below.

Dear Heavenly Father, I want to be a part of your family. You said in Your Word that if I acknowledge that You raised Jesus from the dead, and that I accept Him as my Lord and Savior, I would be saved. Thank you, Heavenly Father, for forgiving me, saving me, and giving me eternal life with You. Amen!” 
By saying this prayer, we believe you are born again.
