* Note: This is the AV rendering of emphutos, James 1:21 , an adjective derived from emphuo, "to implant;" the RV has "implanted." The metaphor is that of a seed rooting itself in the heart; cp. Matthew 13:21; 15:13; 1 Corinthians 3:6 , and the kindred word sumphutos, Romans 6:5 , "planted together" (sun, "with"). The AV "engrafted" would translate the word emphuteuton (from emphuteuo, "to graft"), which is not found in the NT; it uses enkentrizo in Romans 11 . Cp. ekphuo, "to cause to grow out, put forth" (leaves), Matthew 24:32; Mark 13:28 .
