James 5:12–18

12 But above all things, my brethren, nswear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your oyea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation. 13 Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? plet him sing psalms. 14 Is any sick among you? let him call for qthe elders of the church; and let them pray over him, ranointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And sthe prayer of faith shall tsave the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and uif he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. 16 vConfess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, wthat ye may be healed. xThe effectual xyfervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man zsubject to like passions as we are, and ahe prayed ||earnestly that it might not rain: and ait rained not on the earth by the space of bthree years and six months. 18 And che prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.
