Effect, Effectual
Effect, Effectual
e-fekt, e-fektu-al: In the Old Testament, the Revised Version (British and American) renders fulfilment for effect in Eze 12:23 (Hebrew dabhar, matter); and in Jer 48:30 His boastings have wrought nothing for the vaguer His lies shall not so effect of the King James Version. In the King James Version of the New Testament, make of none effect occurs repeatedly: as the translation of Greek akuroo, render void (Mat 15:6; Mar 7:13); of katargeo, annul (Rom 3:3 (the King James Version make without effect); Rom 4:14; Gal 3:17); and of kenoo, make empty (1Co 1:17). the Revised Version (British and American) renders make of none effect in Rom 3:3; Gal 3:17; make void in the other cases, with no apparent reason for the lack of uniformity. Greek energeo is the opposite in meaning of katargeo above. Its derivative energes, effective, is rendered effectual by English Versions of the Bible in 1Co 16:9; Phm 1:6. the Revised Version (British and American) dispenses with effectual, effectually, in the other cases where the King James Version has used these words as auxiliary in the translation of energeo or of energeia, working (2Co 1:6; Gal 2:8; Eph 3:7; Eph 4:16; 1Th 2:13; Jam 5:16).
