1 | Effective and accomplish are energeo | James 5:16 | Searcher56 | 149228 | ||
Effective and accomplish are both energeo ...... We get our word energy from energeo. Notice the word is "can" and not "will" ... yet, I think the energy of a righteous man is in concert with God, so it is used correctly. In the context it is about healing of the sick (vv 14-16) and Elijah's request for no rain, then rain in the next verses. It appears the answer is yes ... because the righteous man knows how to direct the energy of his prayer. |

Hi Searcher56, Concerning James 5:16 The NASB, ESV and ISV includes the word "Therefore" in the translations. The use of this word connects James 5:16 to verse 15. Without the use of this word verse 16 starts a new thought. Even on this forum the NASB and the Amplified Bible versions are different. If we use the "therefore" word, the thought of praying for the physically sick could be carried on. If we do Not use this word the thought would be: Confess our offenses to one another and the healing would be a spiritual restoration. Just look at the two Scriptures at the top of this forum page. As printed, the two versions (NASB and Amplified) have two different meanings. James 5:16 (because I read the verse without the "therefore") means that if you have faulted your brother you should confess to him so that both can pray over the transgression and the emnity that the transgression produced can be resolved. Thus restoring or healing the relationship. And earnest prayer of the righteous will have great power. Then in verse 17 James gives an example of that power and reminding us that Elijah was human also. Some comments on this would be appreciated. I don't see the "oun" (therefore) in the Greek being used. Uses the therefore: NASB - New American Standard Bible ESV - English Standard Version ISV - International Standard Version Does Not use the therefore: ASV - American Standard Version CEV - Contempary English Version DRB - Douay-Rheims Bible KJV - King James Version LITV - Literal Translation of the Bible MKJV - Modern King James Version Starting with verse 13a is a new subject. afflicted verse 13b is a new subject. joyful verse 14 is a new subject. physical healing verse 16 is a new subject. spiritual healing verse 19 is a new subject. falling away Thanks, terrib |

Both the NASB and the Amplified include the word "therefore" in the first seven words of the verse. The idea that verses in the Amplified Bible and the NASB contradict each other or have opposite meanings is simply untrue. | ||||||

Not according to the Translation box to the right. |

5 | Effective and accomplish are energeo | James 5:16 | kalos | 149256 | ||
Clarification, please. WHAT is not, according to the translation box to the right? Terrib: What I said was: "Both the NASB and the Amplified include the word "therefore" in the first seven words of the verse." Are you saying the Amplified does NOT have "therefore" in the first seven words? According to the Translation box to the right, in the Amplfied, James 5:16 starts out saying: "Confess to one another THEREFORE your faults..." (Emphasis added.) Grace to you, Kalos |

Hey, Terrib! You are A-OK! You are one of very few people on the forum ever to come right out and admit, "You are right, I was wrong." For that I greatly respect and admire you. You've made my day! Grace and peace, Kalos :-) |

Hi Kalos, Well, the old slogan is that being kalos is the best policy. I'm glad that we can share with each other and bless each other. Sometimes it is painful to pull that beam from the eye but the glory is great when we can see clearly. Blessings to you, terrib |
