James 1:23

1:23 For if someone merely listens to the message and does not live it out, he is like someone ¹  who gazes at his own face ²  in a mirror.

James 5:14

5:14 Is anyone among you ill? He should summon the elders of the church, and they should pray for him and anoint ³  him with oil in the name of the Lord.

[1:23]  ¹ tn The word for “man” or “individual” is ἀνήρ (anhr), which often means “male” or “man (as opposed to woman).” However, as BDAG 79 s.v. 2 says, here it is “equivalent to τὶς someone, a person.”

[1:23]  ² tn Grk “the face of his beginning [or origin].”

[5:14]  ³ tn Grk “anointing.”
