James 5:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts: for the coming of the Lord draweth nigh. Be ye also patient - Wait for God's deliverance, as ye wait for his bounty in providence.

Stablish your hearts - Take courage; do not sink under your trials.

The coming of the Lord draweth nigh - Ηγγικε· Is at hand. He is already on his way to destroy this wicked people, to raze their city and temple, and to destroy their polity for ever; and this judgment will soon take place.

James 5:8
