James 5:20

he should know that the one who turns a sinner back from his wandering path ¹  will save that person’s ²  soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

Ps 32:1; Pr 10:2; Pr 10:12; Pr 11:4; Pr 11:30; Joh 5:24; Ro 11:14; 1Co 9:22; 1Ti 4:16; Phm 1:19; Jas 1:15; Jas 5:19; 1Pe 4:8; Re 20:6

¹ tn Grk “from the error of his way” (using the same root as the verb “to wander, to err” in the first part of the verse).

² tn Grk “his soul”; the referent (the sinner mentioned at the beginning of the verse) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
