James 5:19-20

[19] Brethren,  if  any  of  do err  from  the truth,  and  one  convert  him;  [20] him  know,  that  he which converteth  the sinner  from  the error  of his  way  shall save  a soul  from  death,  and  shall hide  a multitude  of sins. 

What does James 5:19-20 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

James concluded this major section and his entire epistle by explaining how a brother who had erred could return to fellowship with God and could resume living by faith. These instructions apply directly to what James just explained in chapter5. However they also show the way back to any who may have stumbled in the other errors James dealt with in this book.
