God Defines Greek Verb 1994 Epistrepho

English “convert” emboldened in James 5:19 was translated from Greek verb 1994 epistrepho that subjectively and generically means to convert someone or something into something else and objectively means to be converted into something else or to revert back to something else. Greek verb 1994 epistrepho is from a compound of Greek preposition 1909 epi denoting superimposition and Greek verb 4762 strepho that can mean to simply turn around or can mean to turn into something else entirely. Greek verb 1994 epistrepho best reflects God’s definition translated into English “should be converted” in Matthew 13:15 in the context of Matthew 13:1-43.
