James 5:18-20
New English Translation
18 Then[a] he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the land sprouted with a harvest.
19 My brothers and sisters,[b] if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back, 20 he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from his wandering path[c] will save that person’s[d] soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
