⁵ So then, does God give you the Spirit and work miracles^(A) among you by your doing the works of the law? Or is it by believing what you heard—

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? He should call for the elders of the church, and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.^{(A) 15} The prayer of faith will save the sick person, and the Lord will raise him up; if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.^{(B) 16} Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is very powerful in its effect.^(C)

² Dear friend, I pray that you are prospering in every way and are in good health,^(A) just as your whole life is going well.^[a]
