The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much (James 5:16)

The phrase translated "availeth much" can also be rendered "has great power"; while the Greek participle energoumene, rendered "effectual," is derived from a verb meaning "to be made to produce a successful result" or "to be made to work." Compare Goodspeed's translation, "An upright man can do a great deal by prayer when he tries." The Twentieth Century New Testament has, "Great is the power of a good man's fervent prayer."

Hypocrites (Matt. 6:5)
