A. 7 Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord.

B. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth,

C. and hath long patience for it,

B’. until he receive the early and latter rain.

A’. 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.
