R202 Then R203 he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing R204 praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the R205 elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing R206 F85 him with oil in the name of the Lord; 15 and the prayer R207 offered F86 in faith will restore R208 F87 the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise R209 him up, and if he has committed sins, they F88 will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore, confess R210 your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. R211 The R212 effective prayer F89 of a righteous man can accomplish much. 17 Elijah was a R213 man with a nature like ours, and he R214 prayed earnestly F90 that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three R215 years and six months. 18 Then he prayed R216 again, and the R217 sky F91 poured F92 rain and the earth produced its fruit. 19 My brethren, if R218 any among you strays from the R219 truth and one turns him back, 20 let him know that he F93 who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save R220 his soul from death and will cover R221 a multitude of sins.

FOOTNOTES: F84 Lit yours is to be yes, yes, and no, no F85 Lit having anointed F86 Lit of F87 Or save F88 Lit it F89 Lit supplication F90 Lit with prayer F91 Lit heaven F92 Lit gave F93 Lit he who has turned
