James 5:14-16

14Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for 1the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, 2 3anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

15and the 4prayer 5offered in faith will 6 7restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will 8raise him up, and if he has committed sins, 9they will be forgiven him.

16Therefore, 10confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be 11healed. 12The effective 13prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
