"Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them and anoint them with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise them up. If they have sinned, they will be forgiven. Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective." - James 5:14-16
Now consider:
P1) saints are righteous P2) saints are venerated elders of the church P3) Js 5:14-16 encourages us to call on elders of the church to pray on our behalf C1) Asking for the intercession of saints is condoned by the Bible
