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

¹³ Is anyone of you in trouble? let him pray. Is anyone thriving? let him sing praise. ¹⁴ Is anyone ill? let him summon the presbyters of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; ¹⁵ the prayer of faith will restore the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up; even the sins he has committed will be forgiven him. ¹⁶ So confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed; the prayers of the righteous have a powerful effect. ¹⁷ Elijah was a man with a nature just like our own; but he offered prayer that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain; ¹⁸ then he prayed again, and the sky yielded rain, the earth brought forth its fruit.

¹⁹ My brothers, if anyone of you goes astray from the truth and someone brings him back, ²⁰ understand that he who brings a sinner back from the error of his way saves his soul from death and hides a host of sins.
