James 5:14-16

[14] any sick among let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: [15] And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord him up; and if committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. [16] Confess one to another, and pray for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

What does James 5:14-16 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

It is not surprising to find that James dealt with sickness (Gr. asthenai, weakness) in this epistle. He referred to the fact that departure from the will of God sets the Christian on a course that, unless corrected, may result in his or her premature physical death ( James 1:15; James 1:21; James 5:20). Spiritual weakness, and sometimes physical sickness, result from sinful living. James gave instructions about how to deal with these maladies in James 5:14-20.
