James 5:19-20: Save his soul out of death?
Does James 5:19-20 have conditions?
James 5:19: "My brothers, if anyone among you errs from the truth and someone turns him back,"
James 5:20: "let-him-know that the (one) having-turned-back (a) sinning (one) from (the) error (of) his way WILL-SAVE HIS SOUL OUT-OF DEATH, and will-cover (a) multitude (of) sins."
"Save" his "soul"?
James wrote: "the (one) having-turned-back (a) sinning (one) from (the) error (of) his way WILL-SAVE HIS SOUL out-of death" (James 5:20).
The Greek words for "TO-SAVE" combined with the "SOUL" are only used 1 other time in James:
James wrote 4 chapters earlier: "receive with gentleness the implanted word being-able TO-SAVE YOUR SOULS" (James 1:21)
Save his soul out-of "death"?
James wrote: "the (one) having-turned-back (A) SINNING (ONE) from (the) error (of) his way will-save his soul out-of DEATH" (James 5:20).
The only other time that the Greek word for "DEATH' was used in James was 4 chapters earlier, where it is written: "SIN, having-been-completed, brings-forth DEATH" (James 1:15).
This would refer specifically to death from sin.
Save his soul "out-of" death?
James wrote: "the (one) having-turned-back (a) sinning (one) from (the) error (of) his way will-save his soul OUT-OF DEATH" (James 5:20).
Someone who presently "is-abiding IN DEATH" (1 John 3:14) can have their soul saved "OUT-OF [ek 1537 in Greek] DEATH" (James 5:20).

"My brothers", if "anyone among you"?
James wrote: "MY BROTHERS, if ANYONE AMONG YOU errs from the truth and someone turns him back, let-him-know that the (one) having-turned-back (a) sinning (one) from (the) error (of) his way will-save his soul out-of death" (James 5:19-20).
In James 2, James called "MY BROTHERS" (James 2:1) the ones "HAVING THE FAITH (OF) OUR LORD JESUS" (James 2:1).
In James 5, James wrote to "MY BROTHERS" (James 5:12): "Is ANYONE AMONG YOU suffering-hardship? Let-him-be-praying. Is anyone cheerful? Let-him-be-singing-praise. Is ANYONE AMONG YOU sick? Let-him-summon the elders (of) the church, and let-them-pray over him" (James 5:13-14).
Saving out of death... after having been alive?
In James 2, James called "MY BROTHERS" (James 2:1) the ones "HAVING THE FAITH (OF) OUR LORD JESUS" (James 2:1). Someone having the faith of Jesus may be ALIVE.

This can also be possible as someone who DIED after having been made ALIVE could need to be SAVED OUT OF DEATH another time.

Having turned back a sinning (one)?
James wrote: "My brothers, if anyone among you errs from the truth and someone turns him back, let-him-know that the (one) HAVING-TURNED-BACK (A) SINNING (ONE) from (the) error (of) his way will-save his soul out-of death" (James 5:19-20).
If "(A) SINNING (ONE)" (James 5:20) can be said to "HAVING-TURNED-BACK" (James 5:20), then it may be implied that the sinning person (sinner) may be turned back from being a sinning person.

It is possible that this "SINNING (ONE)" (James 5:20) would not have been a sinning person (sinner) before it was said that he "errs from the truth" (James 5:20). Indeed it is possible to become a sinning person (sinner) after not being one:
