James 5:20

remember this: Whoever turns a sinner from the error of his way will save him from death and cover over a multitude of sins.

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

you can be sure that the one who brings that person back will save that sinner from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

and you will have rescued precious lives from destruction and prevented an epidemic of wandering away from God.

Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

you should know that whoever brings back a sinner from wandering will save the sinner’s soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save a soul from death and cover a multitude of sins.

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.
