Engrafted * Note: This is the AV rendering of emphutos, Jam 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. Mat 13:21, Mat 15:13, 1Co 3:6, and the kindred word sumphutos, Rom 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 Rom. 11. Cp. ekphuo, "to cause to grow out, put forth" (leaves), Mat 24:32, Mar 13:28.
