The Prayer of Faith

13 Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray.¹ Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.² 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders³ of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil⁴ in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith⁵ will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins⁶ to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed.⁷ The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.⁸ 17 Elijah was a man just like us.⁹ He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years.¹⁰ 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth produced its crops.¹¹ 19 My brothers, if one of you should wander from the truth¹² and someone should bring him back,¹³ 20 remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save¹⁴ him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.¹⁵
