James 5:19

5:19 My brothers and sisters, ³  if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone turns him back,

[2:7]  ¹ tn Grk “that was invoked over you,” referring to their baptism in which they confessed their faith in Christ and were pronounced to be his own. To have the Lord’s name “named over them” is OT imagery for the Lord’s ownership of his people (cf. 2 Chr 7:14; Amos 9:12; Isa 63:19; Jer 14:9; 15:16; Dan 9:19; Acts 15:17).

[2:13]  ² tn Grk “boasts against, exults over,” in victory.

[5:19]  ³ tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:2.
