12 But above all, (A)my brothers and sisters, (B)do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but [a]your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you do not fall under judgment.

13 Is anyone among you (C)suffering? (D)Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to (E)sing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for (F)the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, [b](G)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the (H)prayer of faith will [c](I)restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will (J)raise him up, and if he has committed sins, [d]they will be forgiven him.
