James 5:18 Context
16Confesse your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that yee may bee healed: the effectuall feruent prayer of a righteous man auaileth much. 17Elias was a man subiect to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not raine: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three yeeres and sixe monethes. 18And hee prayed againe, and the heauen gaue raine, and the earth brought foorth her fruit. 19Brethren, if any of you doe erre from the trueth, and one conuert him, 20Let him know, that hee which conuerteth the sinner from the errour of his way, shall saue a soule from death, and shall hide a multitude of sinnes.
