…. The word James used (aleipho), in contrast to the
word chrio (“to anoint”), usually means “to rub” or
simply “apply.”
The word aleipho was used to describe the personal
application of salves, lotions, and perfumes, which usually
had an oil base. …

…. It was even used to speak of plastering walls. …. An aleiptes
was a “trainer” who rubbed down athletes in gymnastic
school.
Aleipho was used frequently in medical treatises. And so it turns out that what James
required by the use of oil was the use of the best medical
means of the day.

... James simply say to rub oil … on
the body, and pray. ….
In this passage he urged the treating of sickness
by medical means accompanied by prayer.

….. The two are to be used together; neither to the exclusion of the other.
So instead of teaching faith healing apart from the useof medicine, the passage teaches the opposite.”
