James 5:14-16

The Prayer of Faith

¹⁴ Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, _w anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. ¹⁵ And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And _x if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. ¹⁶ Therefore, _y confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, _z that you may be healed. _a The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. ₁
