James 5:13-20 - The Effective Prayer Of Faith

¹³ Who is afflicted among you? let him pray. Who is merry? let him sing psalms. ¹⁴ Is any one sick among you? 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. ¹⁵ Truly the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up; if he may have committed sins, they shall be forgiven unto him. ¹⁶ Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, in order that you may be healed: the inward working prayer of a righteous man avails much. ¹⁷ Elijah was a man of like suffering to us, and he prayed with prayer that it might not rain, and it rained not upon the earth during three years and six months; ¹⁸ and again he prayed, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

¹⁹ My brethren, if any one among you may err from the truth, and one may turn him back; ²⁰ let him know, that the one having turned a sinner from the error of his way shall save a soul from death, and hide a multitude of sins.
