17 Elijah was a person just like us. When he earnestly prayed that it wouldn’t rain, no rain fell for three and a half years.
18 He prayed again, God sent rain, and the earth produced its fruit.
19 My brothers and sisters, if any of you wander from the truth and someone turns back the wanderer,
20 recognize that whoever brings a sinner back from the wrong path will save them from death and will bring about the forgiveness of many sins.
