JAMES 5:13-20.
Is any among you suffering? let him pray (1). Is any cheerful? let him sing praise. Is any among you sick? let. him call’ for the elders of the church; and let them pray (2) over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith (3) shall save him that is sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, it shall be forgiven him. Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray for one another (4), that ye may be healed: The supplication (5) of a righteous man availeth much in its working. Elijah was a man of like passions with us, and he prayed fervently (6) that it might not rain; and it rained not on the earth for three years and six months.. And he prayed again (7) ; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her, fruit. My brethren, if any among you do err from the truth, -and one convert ‘him let him know, that he who converteth a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and shall cover a multitude of sins.
