proseúchomai · Greek · Strong's G4336 · 85 occurrences
The KJV renders 11 different Hebrew and Greek words as “for”
What it means
to pray to God, i.e. supplicate, worship
from G4314 (πρός) and G2172 (εὔχομαι);
How the KJV renders it
pray x earnestly, for, make prayer
Where that flattens a distinction
The same English word is also used for these other originals, so the distinction between them disappears in translation.
“for”
“make prayer”
also renders châlâh (H2470)

- Should Christians pray to saints?
