| Summary: | This article argues that the LXX prophetic material should be considered when translating ἀσθενέω in James 5.14. This context implies that James, like the prophets, is offering restoration to those who have fallen into sin. In order to understand the role of the LXX prophetic material in James, a recent essay by Karen Jobes is highlighted, followed by further analysis of James’s allusion to the LXX and of the context and thought flow of 5.13-18. Although it is increasingly recognized that the prophetic material was an important source for James, its possible influence on the meaning of ἀσθενέω in 5.14 has been overlooked. After arguing that James addresses the spiritually fallen, the article examines several details of the paragraph in order to see how this conclusion relates to the immediate context. |
