Hereupon, all the faithful are exhorted to patience under their trials and sufferings (Jam 5:7-11). The sin of swearing is cautioned against (Jam 5:12). We are directed how to act, both under affliction and in prosperity (Jam 5:13). Prayer for the sick, and anointing with oil, are prescribed (Jam 5:14, Jam 5:15). Christians are directed to acknowledge their faults one to another, and to pray one for another, and the efficacy of prayer is proved (Jam 5:16-18). And, lastly, it is recommended to us to do what we can for bringing back those that stray from the ways of truth.

هَلْ يُوجَدُ فِي أَبَاطِيلِ الأُمَمِ مَنْ يُمْطِرُ، أَوْ هَلْ تُعْطِي السَّمَاوَاتُ وَابِلاً؟ أَمَا أَنْتَ هُوَ الرَّبُّ إِلهُنَا؟ فَنَرْجُوكَ، لأَنَّكَ أَنْتَ صَنَعْتَ كُلَّ هذِهِ.
فَقَالَ: «لَمْ أُكَدِّرْ إِسْرَائِيلَ، بَلْ أَنْتَ وَبَيْتُ أَبِيكَ بِتَرْكِكُمْ وَصَايَا الرَّبِّ وَبِسَيْرِكَ وَرَاءَ الْبَعْلِيمِ.
مَعَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَتْرُكْ نَفْسَهُ بِلاَ شَاهِدٍ، وَهُوَ يَفْعَلُ خَيْرًا: يُعْطِينَا مِنَ السَّمَاءِ أَمْطَارًا وَأَزْمِنَةً مُثْمِرَةً، وَيَمْلأُ قُلُوبَنَا طَعَامًا وَسُرُورًا».
