James 4:9 Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.
English “Be afflicted” emboldened in James 4:9 was translated from Greek verb 5003 talaiporeo that appears only in James 4:9 but God always provides those who follow God’s 2Timothy 2:15, 19-21 directive means to understand God’s definitions of all God’s original Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament words. Greek verb 5003 talaiporeo is the verb form of Greek feminine noun 5004 talaiporia and Greek adjective 5005 talaiporos all of which are from a compound of Greek neuter noun 5007 talanton and Greek feminine noun 3984 peira. Greek feminine noun 5004 talaiporia best reflects God’s definition translated into “misery” in Romans 3:16 in the context of Romans 3:16 -26 understanding that verse 26 is mistranslated and God’s correction of verse 26 is integral to understanding God’s process pursuant to God’s will. The English words of Romans 3:26 referring to God, says “To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus”. English “righteousness” “just” and “the justifier” were translated from Greek feminine noun 1343 dikaiosune Greek adjective 1342 dikaios and Greek verb 1344 dikaioo respectively. Greek feminine noun 1343 dikaiosune is from a compound of Greek adjective 1342 dikaios and Greek suffix 4862 sun denoting union. Greek adjective 1342 dikaios describes and qualifies “seven thousand” “elect” “election” “the sons of God” that God makes right per God’s definition of right during this earth age. When flesh leaders of the world’s 4,351 religions and thousands of other flesh social networks perform the action of the Greek verb 1344 dikaioo they make their flesh grammatical objects righteous based upon their flesh grammatical subject’s opinion of what constitutes righteousness which has little or nothing to do with God’s definition of right. The United States Library of Congress created an alphabetical list of 4,351 different world religions precisely because they each have a different opinion of what constitutes righteousness.
