Yakobus 5:13

Prayer for the Sick

5:13 Is anyone among you suffering? He should pray. Is anyone in good spirits? He should sing praises.

[1:9]  ¹ tn Grk “brother.” Here the term “brother” means “fellow believer” or “fellow Christian” (cf. TEV, NLT “Christians”; CEV “God’s people”). The term broadly connotes familial relationships within the family of God (cf. BDAG 18 s.v. ἀδελφός 2.a).

[1:9]  ² tn Grk “the lowly brother,” but “lowly/humble” is clarified in context by the contrast with “wealthy” in v. 10.

[1:9]  ³ tn Grk “let him boast.”

[1:9]  ⁴ tn Grk “his height,” “his exaltation.”

[1:10]  ⁵ tn Grk “a flower of grass.”

[2:4]  ⁶ tn Grk “have you not made distinctions” (as the conclusion to the series of “if” clauses in vv. 2-3).

[2:4]  ⁷ tn Grk “judges of evil reasonings.”

[3:18]  ⁸ tn Grk “the fruit of righteousness,” meaning righteous living as a fruit, as the thing produced.

[3:18]  ⁹ tn Grk “is sown.”

[3:18]  ¹⁰ tn Or “for,” or possibly “by.”

[4:16]  ¹¹ tn Grk “but now.”
