Subject: Effective and accomplish are energeo |
Bible Note: terrib, greetings, somehow my previous post didn't take. Context is important, there were no verse or chapters in the original. While a full understanding requires reading the entire book, one could read James 5:13-20 for the immediate context. There also is the context of prayer (including Elijah's prayer for (no) rain (1 Kin 17:1, 18:1), as well as a righteous man. Also, one needs to understand the Greek words. I think it helps to know effective and accomplish are the same word, energeo. One needs to understand how far back look to see about the "therefore" ... and the effect if it is not there. Searcher |
