James 5:13-18 Is anyone among you folks continually experiencing bad things (misfortune; ugly situations; evil)? Let him be habitually thinking with a view to ease and well-being and repeatedly speak toward goodness (or: pray). Is someone normally cheerful and in good spirits? Let him play a stringed or percussion instrument and make music or sing psalms.

JMNT⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹³ Is anyone among you folks continually experiencing bad things (misfortune; ugly situations; evil)? Let him be habitually thinking with a view to ease and well-being and repeatedly speak toward goodness (or: pray). Is someone normally cheerful and in good spirits? Let him play a stringed or percussion instrument and make music or sing psalms. ¹⁴ Is anyone among you habitually experiencing weakness or normally infirm? Let him at once call to himself the older folks of the called-out community, and then let them speak well-being (or: pray goodness) upon him, anointing (or: massaging) him with olive oil in union with and in [the authority of] the Lord's [= Yahweh's, or, Christ's] Name, ¹⁵ and then faith's impartation of well-being (or: the prayer which comes from trust; the desire of conviction) will progressively deliver (restore to health; rescue; save) the one being continuously labored to weariness and exhaustion, and then the Lord [= Christ, or, Yahweh, ] will proceed causing him to rise, and if it may be he has been making mistakes (performing amiss; doing acts which miss the goal) it will proceed being caused to flow away from him (sent forth for him; let go off in him; forgiven to him). ¹⁶ Consequently, make it a habit to fully speak in accordance with and admit (or: openly speaking out similarly about) your failures (errors; misses of the target; sins) among another folks (or: to one another), and then be habitually speaking toward having well-being over [those failures] of other folks (or: continue praying and thinking goodness on behalf of one another), in such a manner that you folks would be cured (or, as an indicative: as you are instantly healed). A binding need (or: a petition and an entreaty out of need) of a person within the Way pointed out (of a fair and equitable person; of one in right relationship; of a rightwised and rightly aligned man; of a just one) – which progressively works inwardly and itself continuously creates energy from union – constantly exerts much strength. ¹⁷ Elijah was a person (a human being) of like experiences and emotions with us, and with a thought toward having things be well, he spoke toward goodness and ease (or: prayed) for it to not rain, and it did not rain upon the land [for] three years and six months. ¹⁸ And back again he spoke toward having goodness (or: offered prayer), and the sky (or: atmosphere; heaven) gave rain, and then the land germinated and produced her fruit.
