Bible Question: In James 1:4 it says let patience have HER perfect work. Why does it say her?? |
Bible Answer: Hi illya, James 1:4 in the ESV reads, "And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." In the NASB, we have, "And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." The noun translated, "perseverance" or "endurance" is 'hypomone'(Gr.). It is in the feminine gender. "Her" is not in the original, but the KJV supplies it to most likely read better in English. Otherwise, a literal reading would be “But let patience have perfect work”.
