14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for (A)the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, [a](B)anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the (C)prayer of faith will [b](D)restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will (E)raise him up, and if he has committed sins, [c]they will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, (F)confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be (G)healed. (H)A [d]prayer of a righteous person, when it is [e]brought about, can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was (I)a man with a nature like ours, and (J)he prayed [f]earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for (K)three years and six months. 18 Then he (L)prayed again, and (M)the sky [g]poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.
