Heb. 12.6, 7, 8, 11. For whom the Lord loveth, he chasteneth, and scourgeth every Son whom he receiveth: If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with Sons—Shall we not be in subjection to the Father of spirits, and live—But he for our profit, that we might be partakers of his holiness: No chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous; nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness to them which are exercised thereby.
James 5.14. Is any sick, let them send for the Elders of the Church—The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up, and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
