16ThereforeG3767, 1confessG1843 your sinsG266 to oneG240 anotherG240, and prayG4336 for oneG240 anotherG240 soG3704 that you may be 2healedG2390. 3The effectiveG1754 4prayerG1162 of a righteousG1342 manG1342 canG2480 accomplishG1754 muchG4183. 17ElijahG2243 was 5a manG444 with a natureG3663 likeG3663 oursG1473, and 6he prayedG4336 7earnestlyG4335 that it would not rainG1026, and it did not rainG1026 on the earthG1093 for 8threeG5140 yearsG1763 and sixG1803 monthsG3376. 18ThenG2532 he 9prayedG4336 againG3825, and 10the 11skyG3772 12pouredG1325 rainG5205 and the earthG1093 producedG985 its fruitG2590.
19My brethrenG80, 13ifG1437 anyG5100 amongG1722 you straysG4105 from 14the truthG225 and oneG5100 turnsG1994 him backG1994, 20let him knowG1097 that 15he who turnsG1994 a sinnerG268 from the errorG4106 of his wayG3598 will 16saveG4982 his soulG5590 from deathG2288 and will 17coverG2572 a multitudeG4128 of sinsG266.
