Is
any of you sad? Let him pray. Is he cheerful in mind? Let him sing.
Is any man sick among you? Let him bring in the priests of the
church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the
name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick man:
and the Lord shall raise him up: and if he be in sins, they shall be
forgiven him. Confess therefore your sins one to another: and pray
one for another, that you may be saved. For the continual prayer of a
just man availeth much.
