James 5:13-16

13Is anyone among you 1suffering? 2Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to 3sing praises.

14Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for 4the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, 56anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

15and the 7prayer 8offered in faith will 910restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will 11raise him up, and if he has committed sins, 12they will be forgiven him.

16Therefore, 13confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be 14healed. 15The effective 16prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
