And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven — the causal nexus between prayer and healing is explicit: the prayer of faith (proseuche tēs pisteōs) accomplishes therapeutic outcome (sōizō, make well/save/heal). The promise extends to forgiveness of sins (hamartiai), suggesting that sickness may sometimes accompany moral failure, and that healing addresses both spiritual and physical dimensions.
