James 5:13-20

New King James Version

Meeting Specific Needs^(A)

¹³ Is anyone among you suffering? Let him ^(B)pray. Is anyone cheerful? ^(C)Let him sing psalms. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, ^(D)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. ^(E)And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ^16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ^(F)The effective, ^[b]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. ¹⁷ Elijah was a man ^(G)with a nature like ours, and ^(H)he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. ¹⁸ And he prayed ^(I)again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

Bring Back the Erring One

¹⁹ Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone ^(J)turns him back, ²⁰ let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way ^(K)will save ^[c]a soul from death and ^(L)cover a multitude of sins.
