Verse 15— And the prayer of faith shall save the sick. The prayer to be offered after the elders appear at the bedside of the sick must be in faith. Such prayer, and such prayer only, will the Lord receive, and the sick, after such prayer and in answer thereto, the Lord will raise up. That is, the sick shall be cured of his illness. If the disease be brought up in consequence of sins, the sins shall be for­given him. The removal of the disease, or its cure, which is the same thing, indicates the forgiveness.
