This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Jam 5:15. Ἡ εὐχὴ τῆς πίστεως, the prayer of faith) [He does not say the oil shall save.-V. g.] When some of the faithful pray, the whole power of faith is spread and exercised through the whole body of the Church. James would have complained that he was greatly misrepresented, if any one were to say, that he attributed the remission of sins to works.-κἂν, and if) It may happen that a man is sick, even though he has not committed [special] sins.-ἀφεθήσεται, it shall be forgiven him) the having committed sins.
