IN HIMadvanced
According to the Epistle of James in the New Testament, the prayer of faith offered for a sick person includes the promise that any sins they have committed will be forgiven.
Answer
True
Explanation
### Why this is right
The quoted passage associates the prayer for the sick with forgiveness of sins if the person has committed them. The text mentions forgiveness but does not say that every illness is caused by personal sin.
### Watch out
Do not turn the passage’s mention of possible forgiveness into a claim that all illness proves wrongdoing.
