  1. James 3:2 mature

12 But above all, my brethren, (A)do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath. But let your “Yes” be “Yes,” and your “No,” “No,” lest you fall into [a]judgment.

Meeting Specific Needs(B)

13 Is anyone among you suffering? Let him (C)pray. Is anyone cheerful? (D)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, (E)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. (F)And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [b]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. (G)The effective, [c]fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
