15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. aAnd if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.
16 1Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. aThe effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
17 Elijah was a man awith a nature like ours, and bhe prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.
18 And he prayed aagain, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit.

19 Brethren, if anyone among you wanders from the truth, and someone aturns him back,
20 let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way awill save a soul from death and bcover a multitude of sins.
