MSG(16-18)Make this your common practice: Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you can live together whole and healed. The prayer of a person living right with God is something powerful to be reckoned with. Elijah, for instance, human just like us, prayed hard that it wouldn’t rain, and it didn’t—not a drop for three and a half years. Then he prayed that it would rain, and it did. The showers came and everything started growing again.

UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: writing-pronouns

πάλιν προσηύξατο

again ˱he˲_prayed

The pronoun he refers to Elijah. Alternate translation: “Elijah prayed again”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ὁ οὐρανὸς ὑετὸν ἔδωκεν

the sky rain gave

In this context, the heaven means “the sky.” James is speaking of the sky as if it were a living thing that gave rain. Alternate translation: “rain fell from the sky”

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / personification

ἡ γῆ ἐβλάστησεν τὸν καρπὸν αὐτῆς

the earth sprouted the fruit ˱of˲_it

James is speaking of the earth as if it were a living thing that produced fruit. As in 5:7, James is using the word fruit in a broad sense to mean things that plants produce that are good for food. He does not mean only the kind of fruit that grows on trees and vines. Alternate translation: “crops grew from the ground”
