| 16 ܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܕܝܢ ܡܘܕܝܢ ܤܟܠܘܬܟܘܢ ܚܕ ܠܚܕ ܘܗܘܝܬܘܢ ܡܨܠܝܢ ܚܕ ܥܠ ܚܕ ܕܬܬܐܤܘܢ ܪܒ ܗܘ ܓܝܪ ܚܝܠܗ ܕܨܠܘܬܐ ܐܝܕܐ ܕܙܕܝܩܐ ܡܨܠܐ ܠܗ ܀ | 16 Therefore confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man has great power in its effects. |

| 20 ܢܕܥ ܕܗܘ ܕܡܗܦܟ ܠܚܛܝܐ ܡܢ ܛܥܝܘܬܐ ܕܐܘܪܚܗ ܡܚܐ ܢܦܫܗ ܡܢ ܡܘܬܐ ܘܥܛܐ ܤܘܓܐܐ ܕܚܛܗܘܗܝ ܀ | 20 let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. |
