James 5:13-20

English Standard Version

The Prayer of Faith

¹³ Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him ^(A)sing praise. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, ^(B)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And ^(C)if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶ Therefore, ^(D)confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, ^(E)that you may be healed. ^(F)The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.^{[a] 17} Elijah was a man ^(G)with a nature like ours, and ^(H)he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for ^(I)three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. ^18 (J)Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit.

¹⁹ My brothers, ^(K)if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone ^(L)brings him back, ²⁰ let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering ^(M)will save his soul from death and ^(N)will cover a multitude of sins.
