Needs Need Needful

'''A — 1: χρεία (Strong'S #5532 — Noun Feminine — chreia — khri'-ah )

denotes "a need," in such expressions as "there is a need;" or "to have need of" something, e.g.,  Matthew 3:14;  6:8;  9:12 , Rv, "(have no) need," Av, "need (not)," the Rv adheres to the noun form; so in  Matthew 14:16;  Mark 14:63;  Luke 5:31;  22:7;  Ephesians 4:28;  1 Thessalonians 4:9; in the following, however, both Rv and Av use the verb form, "to need" (whereas the original has the verb echo, "to have," with the noun chreia as the object, as in the instances just mentioned):  Luke 15:7;  John 2:25;  13:10;  16:30;  1 Thessalonians 1:8;  1 John 2:27;  Revelation 22:5; in all these the verb "to have" could well have been expressed in the translation.
