1: Δώρημα (Strong'S #1434 — Noun Neuter — dorema — do'-ray-mah )
translated "boon" in James 1:17 , RV, is thus distinguished, as the thing given, from the preceding word in the verse, dosis, "the act of giving" (AV, "gift" in each case); elsewhere in Romans 5:16 . It is to be distinguished also from doron, the usual word for a gift. See Gift.
