Exegesis
The verse begins with the aorist imperative makrothymesate {Μακροθυμήσατε | makrothymḗsate} ‘be patient’, addressed to adelphoi {ἀδελφοί | adelphoí} ‘brothers and sisters’, creating a direct call to endurance.
In context — James 5:7
Therefore, be patient, brothers, until the coming of the Lord . Consider the farmer: he waits for the precious fruit of the earth, and he keeps on being patient until the early and late rains come.
