 The second precedent. Be patient, therefore, beloved, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious crop from the earth, being patient with it until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, as the patient, strengthen the hearts for the coming of the Lord this year. Beloved, do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See the judgment standing in the doors, as an example of supplication. Beloved, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.
