¹⁶ Therefore, ^(A)confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, ^(B)that you may be healed. ^(C)The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.^[a]

¹⁴ And this is ^(A)the confidence that we have towards him, that ^(B)if we ask anything according to his will he hears us. ¹⁵ And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests that we have asked of him.

¹⁶ If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and ^(C)God^[a] will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. ^(D)There is sin that leads to death; ^(E)I do not say that one should pray for that.
