Notes:
(1) In Col. 4:12, the verb
, “to strive,” is translated “laboring
fervently,”
KJV
(
RV
, “striving”). (2) In 2 Cor. 7:7, the noun
, “zeal” (akin to C.), is
translated “fervent mind,”
KJV
(
RV
, “zeal”). (3) In Jas. 5:17, “he prayed fervently” (
KJV
,
“earnestly”) translates the noun
$
, followed by the corresponding verb, lit., “he
prayed with prayer.” In v. 16
, “supplication,” is so translated in the
RV
, for the
KJV
,
“effectual fervent prayer.” There is nothing in the original corresponding to the word
“effectual.” The phrase, including the verb
, “to work in,” is, lit., “the
inworking supplication,” suggesting a supplication consistent with inward conformity to
the mind of God. (4) For “fervent heat” see
