James 5:14-16

Is anyone sick among you? He should call in the elders of the church, and they should pray over him, and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord, and the prayer that is offered in faith will save the sick man; the Lord will raise him to health, and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. So practice confessing your sins to one another, and praying for one another, that you may be cured. An upright man's prayer, when it keeps at work, is very powerful.

Romans 10:1-4

Brothers, my heart's good will goes out for them, and my prayer to God is that they may be saved. For I can testify that they are zealous for God, but they are not intelligently so. For they were ignorant of God's way of right standing and were trying to set up one of their own, and so would not surrender to God's way of right standing.read more.
For Christ has put an end to law as a way to right standing for everyone who puts his trust in Him.

Philemon 1:10-21

yes, I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whose father I have become while wearing these chains. Once he proved to be useless, but now he is useful to you and me; I am sending him back to you, which is all the same as sending my very heart. read more.
I would have liked to keep him with me, to wait on me in your stead while I wear these chains for the good news, but I would not do a single thing about it without your consent, so that this kindness of yours to me might not seem to come by compulsion but voluntarily. For perhaps it was for this reason that he was parted from you for a while, that you might have him back forever, not as a slave any longer but more than a slave, a dearly loved brother, especially to me and much more to you, both as a servant and as a Christian. So, if you consider me a comrade, take him to your bosom as you would me. And if he has done you any wrong and owes you anything, charge it to my account, I, Paul, write it with my own hand, I will pay it in full -- not to mention the fact that you owe me your very self besides. Yes, brother, I would like some return myself from you in the Lord's work. Through Christ refresh my heart. I write you in perfect confidence in your compliance with my wish, because I am sure that you will do even more than I ask.
