James 5:16 in Context — James 5
14 Quelqu’un parmi vous est-il malade? Qu’il appelle les anciens de l’Église, et que les anciens prient pour lui, en l’oignant d’huile au nom du Seigneur;
15 la prière de la foi sauvera le malade, et le Seigneur le relèvera; et s’il a commis des péchés, il lui sera pardonné.
16 Confessez donc vos péchés les uns aux autres, et priez les uns pour les autres, afin que vous soyez guéris. La prière fervente du juste a une grande efficace.
17 Élie était un homme de la même nature que nous: il pria avec instance pour qu’il ne plût point, et il ne tomba point de pluie sur la terre pendant trois ans et six mois.
18 Puis il pria de nouveau, et le ciel donna de la pluie, et la terre produisit son fruit.
