AMPLIFIED 2015 | James 5:16 Therefore, confess your sins to one another [your false steps, your offenses], and pray for one another, that you may be healed and restored. The heartfelt and persistent prayer of a righteous man (believer) can accomplish much [when put into action and made effective by God--it is dynamic and can have tremendous power]. |
Bible Question: Is there a scripture about a mother's prayer availeth much or is it just the scripture of the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much? |
Bible Answer: Hello idbailey, I believe James 5:16 would include both genders. The imperative at the beginning of the verse is directed to "one another": "...The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much..." Also consider the verses immediately following (17, 18) as giving an example of effective prayer. Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
