‏ James 5:19

 If any one among you do err ( εαν τις εν υμιν πλανηθη ). Third-class condition (supposed case) with  εαν and the first aorist passive subjunctive of  πλαναω, old verb, to go astray, to wander (Mt 18:12), figuratively (Heb 5:2).

 From the truth ( απο της αληθειας ). For truth see 1:18; 3:14; Joh 8:32; 1Jo 1:6; 3:18f. It was easy then, and is now, to be led astray from Christ, who is the Truth.

 And one convert him ( κα επιστρεψη τις αυτον ). Continuation of the third-class condition with the first aorist active subjunctive of  επιστρεφω, old verb, to turn (transitive here as in Lu 1:16f., but intransitive often as Ac 9:35).
