13Is any among you suffering?Let him pray.Is any cheerful?Let him sing praises.14Is any among you sick?Let him call for the elders of the assembly,and let them pray over him,anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;15and the prayer of faith will heal him who is sick,and the Lord will raise him up.If he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.16Confess your sins to one another and pray for one another,that you may be healed.The insistent prayer of a righteous person is powerfully effective.17Elijah was a man with a nature like ours,and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain,and it didn’t rain on the earth for three years and six months.18He prayed again, and the sky gave rain,and the earth produced its fruit.

19Brothers, if any among you wanders from the truthand someone turns him back,20let him know that hewho turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from deathand will cover a multitude of sins.

1Lord, I have called on you.Come to me quickly!Listen to my voice when I call to you.2Let my prayer be set before you like incense;the lifting up of my hands like the evening sacrifice.

3Set a watch, Lord, before my mouth.Keep the door of my lips.

8For my eyes are on you, Lord, the Lord.I take refuge in you.Don’t leave my soul destitute.

13They were bringing to him little children,that he should touch them,but the disciples rebuked those who were bringing them.14But when Jesus saw it,he was moved with indignation and said to them,“Allow the little children to come to me!Don’t forbid them,for God’s Kingdom belongs to such as these.15Most certainly I tell you,whoever will not receive God’s Kingdom like a little child,he will in no way enter into it.”16He took them in his arms and blessed them,laying his hands on them.
