The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working.
– James 5:16b (ESV)
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
– James 5:16b (NIV)
The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
– James 5:16b (NASB)
πολὺ ἰσχÏ?ει δÎησις δικαίου á¼?νεÏ?γουμÎνη
– James 5:16b (New Testament Greek)
I’d like to understand this verse better. I hope to study it and write on it over the next few days.
I also hope to practice it better.
I’ve never really paid attention to this verse outside of the NIV translation.
What I can gather:
1. It pays to be righteous
2. It pays to pray
3. It pays to be a righteous wo/man of prayer
4. It pays to know other righteous wo/men of prayer
First thoughts that most HS students could gather. I eagerly anticipate your analysis.
Still eagerly anticipating . . . 🙂

We’ll see
I’m okay if you don’t, but I would love it if something popped out of your head and onto this site.
What’s up with Thinklings? I’m assuming it’s all of the Spam junk. Blech.
You’re probably be up all night fixing it or something . . .
