James 5:19

Verse 19 of 20. The 5th of 5 chapters in James, in The General Letters.

15and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

16Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.

17Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain, and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.

18He prayed again, and the sky gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

19Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

20let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
