STRONGS G1721:
ἔμφυτος [see
ἐν, III. 3],
-ον, (
ἐμφύω to implant), in secular authors [from Herodotus down]
inborn, implanted by nature; cf.
Grimm, Exeget. Hdb. on Sap. [12:10], p. 224;
implanted by others’ instruction: thus
James 1:21 τὸν ἔμφυτον λόγον, the doctrine implanted by your teachers [others by God; cf.
Brückner in DeWette, or Huther at the passage],
δέξασθε ἐν πραΰτητι, receive like mellow soil, as it were.
