James 5:13-20
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. 17Elijah was 17a man with a nature like ours, and 18he prayed 19earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for 20three years and six months. 18Then he 21prayed again, and 22the 23sky 24poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
19My brethren, 25if any among you strays from 26the truth and one turns him back, 20let him know that 27he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will 28save his soul from death and will 29cover a multitude of sins.
