James 5:15-17
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
15 And the prayer of [a] faith will restore[b] the one being ill, and the Lord will raise him. And if he has committed[c] sins, it will be forgiven him. 16 Therefore be confessing-out[d] your sins to one another, and be praying for one another so that you may be healed. A prayer[e] of a righteous person can-do much while working[f]. 17 Elijah was a person of-like-nature to us, and he prayed with prayer[g] that it not rain. And it did not rain upon the land for three years and six months.
