13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. |
14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. |
15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. |
16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. |
17 Elijah was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. |
18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops. |
19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, |
20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins. |
