19  Brothers, if anyone among you wanders away from the truth, and anyone turns him back,

19  My brethren, if any among you err from the truth, and one convert him;

19  My brothers, if anyone of you strays from the truth, and if someone converts him,

20  let him know that he who turns a sinner back from the error of his way will save a soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.
