²³ As for me also, it is unthinkable, on my part, to sin against Jehovah by ceasing to pray in YOUR behalf;+ and I must instruct+ YOU in the good+ and right way.

⁸ The sacrifice of the wicked ones is something detestable to Jehovah,+ but the prayer of the upright ones is a pleasure to him.+

¹⁶ Therefore openly confess+ YOUR sins to one another and pray for one another, that YOU may get healed.+ A righteous man’s supplication, when it is at work,* has much force.+
