James 5:6

You have condemned--you have murdered-- the righteous man: he offers no resistance.

Weymouth NT (1912)

In The King James Version

Ye have condemned and killed the just; and he doth not resist you.

In Context

7Be patient therefore, brethren, until the Coming of the Lord. Notice how eagerly a farmer waits for a valuable crop! He is patient over it till it has received the early and the later rain.
