"and the vow of trust shall make-whole the one who is faltering, and the Affirmer shall raise him up; and if he has committed un-marks, it shall be from-let him."
Most translations render the phrase "prayer of faith" in this verse. The Etymological New Testament distinguishes the different Greek words and thus has "vow of trust." After being rubbed with olive oil, a vow of trust can lead us to begin a path to wholeness, even as we falter. Further, if we have missed the mark, fallen short of our aim, this can be allowed to go from us. The etymology of "forgive" is "from-let", letting it go from us.
