10 Brothers, as an example of patience in affliction, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord {Kyriou}. 11 See how blessed we consider those who have persevered. You⁺ have heard of Job’s perseverance (endurance) and have seen the outcome from the Lord {Kyriou}. The Lord {Kyrios} is full of compassion and mercy. 12 Above all, my brothers (and sisters), do not swear, not by heaven or earth or by any other oath. Simply let your⁺ “Yes be yes, and your “No, no, so that you⁺ will not fall under judgment. 13 Is any one of you⁺ suffering? He should pray. Is anyone cheerful? He should sing praises. 14 Is any one of you⁺ sick? He should call the elders of the church {ekklēsias} to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord {Kyriou}. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick. The Lord {Kyrios} will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you⁺ may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power to prevail. 17 Elijah (my God is YHWH) was a man just like us. He prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the land for three and a half years. 18 Again he prayed, and the heavens gave rain, and the earth yielded its crops. 19 My brothers (and sisters), if one of you⁺ should wander from the truth and someone should bring him back, 20 consider this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul {psychēn} from death and cover over a multitude of sins.
