 5And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.  6But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.  7But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.

any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.  14Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:  15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have ommitted sins, they shall be forgiven him.  16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
