James 5:16 in Context — James 5

14 Alguém entre vós está doente? Chame os anciãos da igreja, e orem sobre ele, ungindo-o com azeite no nome do Senhor.

15 E a oração da fé sarará o doente, e o Senhor o levantará; e se houver cometido pecados, lhe serão perdoados.

16 Confessai as [vossas] culpas uns aos outros, e orai uns pelos outros, para que sejais curados. A oração de um justo muito pode efetuar.

17 Elias era tão humano quanto nós, e orou insistentemente para não chover; e não choveu sobre a terra por três anos e seis meses.

18 E orou outra vez, e o céu deu chuva, e a terra produziu o seu fruto.
