13Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise.

14Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.

15And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

16Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful as it is at work.

17Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

18And he prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

19My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

20let him know that whoever turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
