James 5:16-20 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

16. Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous person accomplishes much.

17. Elijah was a human being with the same nature as us, and he prayed fervently for it not to rain, and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

18. And he prayed again, and the sky gave rain and the earth produced its fruit.

19. My brothers, if anyone among you should wander away from the truth and someone turns him back,

20. he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save that person’s soul from death, and will cover over a great number of sins.
