<DIV><FONT size=2>Is it possible syntacticly that the clause KAV hAMARTIAS H
PEPOIHKWS, AFEQHSETAI AUTW. could be translated EVEN IF HE SINS, IT SHALL BE
REMOVED FROM HIM. where the term AFEQHSETAI is translated with reference to the
sickness as oppose to sins. According to Louw &amp; Nida (15.48) AFEQHSETAI can
mean to leave or depart from. In Mark 1:31 this word is used in connection with
sickness and I was wondering based on the context of James 5 if the grammar
would support such a translation.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
