JAMES—NOTE ON James 5:20 save his soul from death. Not physical death (see 1 Corinthians 11:30) but spiritual death (compare 1 John 5:16). Timely help from other believers (see Galatians 6:1; Hebrews 3:13) will “save his soul” and bring forgiveness from God if he repents. The one who encourages repentance will cover the many sins of the one who had strayed, because God will forgive someone who repents.
