13 And if any of you is sorrowful [Soothly if any of you is sorrowful, or heavy], pray he with patient soul, and say he a psalm.

14 If any of you is sick, lead he in priests of the church, and pray they for him, and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord [anointing with oil in the name of the Lord];

15 and the prayer of faith shall save the sick man, and the Lord shall make him light[a]; and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven to him.

16 Therefore acknowledge ye each to other your sins, and pray ye each for other, that ye be saved [Therefore acknowledge ye one to another your sins, and pray ye for each other, that ye be saved]. For the continual prayer of a just man is much worth.

18 And again he prayed, and heaven gave rain, and the earth gave his fruit.
