# General Information:
As these are Jewish believers, James reminds them to pray by recalling one of the prophets of old and that prophet's practical prayers.
# So confess your sins
Admit to other believers things you did wrong so that you can be forgiven.
# to one another
"to each other"
# so that you may be healed
This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "so that God may heal you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])
# The prayer of a righteous person is very strong in its working
Prayer is presented as if it were an object that was strong or powerful. Alternate translation: "When the person who obeys God prays, God will do great things" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
