Many English words can be nouns or verbs, with the exact same English spelling.
This can cause confusion, because the reader must decide from the context whether the writer is using the word as a noun or verb. Whether a word is a noun or verb is not up for grabs in the New Testament Greek, as it is in our English. You can look up any New Testament Greek word in The Analytical Greek Lexicon, by Zondervan, to see if it is a noun or verb. I have come to see that the English language is one of the least precise and expressive languages on planet Earth. Our English dictionary often contains 10 or more definitions for the same word.
