In the fifth and final chapter of the book of James, the author condemns those who become rich through unjustly withholding wages from those who have worked for them. The church should not despair because of this, but instead, should wait patiently for the Lord’s coming, for he will bring justice at his return. Though many in this world may be dishonest and unjust to get what they want, James encourages the church to be truthful in all things, letting their “yes” always mean “yes” and their “no” always mean “no.” Finally, James urges the church to pray during times of suffering or sickness.
