James 5:7

Μακροθυμήσατε οὖν, ἀδελφοί, ἕως τῆς παρουσίας τοῦ Κυρίου. Ἰδού, ὁ γεωργὸς ἐκδέχεται τὸν τίμιον καρπὸν τῆς γῆς, μακροθυμῶν ἐπ' αὐτόν, ἕως λάβῃ ὑετὸν πρώϊμον καὶ ὄψιμον.
Makrothymēsate oyn, adelphoi, eōs tēs paroysias toy Kyrioy. Idoy, o geōrgos ekdechetai ton timion karpon tēs gēs, makrothymōn ep' ayton, eōs labē yeton prōimon kai opsimon.
King James Version (KJV)

Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain.

Modern English

Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord's coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.
