Do not grudge against one another, brothers, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge stands before the door.

But before all things, my brothers, do not swear; neither by the heaven nor by the earth, nor any other oath. But let your yes be yes, and your no, no, lest you fall into condemnation.

And the prayer of faith will cure the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he has committed sins, it will be forgiven him.

Confess faults to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous one avails much.
