JMNT(i)
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.
