James 5:16-18
Contemporary English Version
James 5:16-18
Contemporary English Version
16 (A) If you have sinned, you should tell each other what you have done. Then you can pray for one another and be healed. The prayer of an innocent person is powerful, and it can help a lot. 17 (B) Elijah was just as human as we are, and for three and a half years his prayers kept the rain from falling. 18 (C) But when he did pray for rain, it fell from the skies and made the crops grow.
