Prayer, Healing, and Restoring the Erring

James 5:13-20
13Is anyone among you enduring hardship? Let that one pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let that one sing praise. 14Is anyone among you weak? Let that one summon the elders of the assembly, and let them pray over him, having anointed him with olive oil in the name of the Lord. 15And the prayer of faith will save the one who is weak, and the Lord will raise him; and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him. 16Therefore confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective petition of a righteous person is powerful. 17Elijah was a human being like us, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. 18Then he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. 19My brothers, if anyone among you should go astray from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20let that person know that whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
