Are You Sick?... What the Bible says to do?

 

    This is what the Bible says you have to do if you are sick in Ecclesiastics 38 and James 5
(Ecclesiasticus or Sirach is a practical book, like Proverbs, but larger, 51 chapters, and it is usually not in the Protestant Bibles

    1- Ecclesiasticus or Sirach 38:9-15:
        9- My son, in thy sickness do not get impatient, but pray to the Lord, and he shall heal thee.
        10- Turn away from sin and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all offence.
        11- Give a sweet sacrifice, and a memorial of fine flour, and make a fat offering, and then give place to the physician.          
        12- For the Lord created him: and let him not depart from thee, for his works are necessary.
        13- For there is a time when thou must fall into their hands:
        14- And they shall beseech the Lord, that he would prosper what they give for ease and remedy, for their conversation.      
        15- He that sinneth in the sight of his Maker, shall fall into the hands of the physician.

    2- James 5:14-16:
    14- Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
    15- And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
    16- Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
