13 Is anyone among you going through hard times? If so, they should be praying. Is anyone feeling cheerful? If so, they should be singing praises. 14 Is anyone among you sick? If so, that person should call the leaders of the assembly and get them to anoint them with oil and to pray for them[ref] in the name and authority of Yeshua our master. 15 Then that declaration of faith will save the weak person and the master will lift him/her up, and if they’ve sinned, then their sins will also be forgiven. 16 So confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that all of you can be healed, because when an obedient believer prays, it has a real effect. 17 Eliyah was a person just similar to us, and when he prayed for the rain to stop, it stopped, and it didn’t rain again for three and a half years.[ref] 18 Then he prayed again, and the rain came down from the sky and the land sprouted and started to bear fruit again.[ref]

19 My fellow believers, if any of you have wandered from the truth and someone helps them back, 20 then you should know that someone who helps a sinner to come back from their deceitful ways will be saving their soul from death,[ref] and their many sins can be forgiven.
