4:15, had previously "allows" but the Greek is θελήσῃ, which is one of the key terms relative to the definite will of God, and should be rendered not with "allow" but "if the Lord wills" or if the Lord is willing," here "if it is the Lord's will". No major translation has "if he allows" this implies that he is simply permitting something, but this would be boulese (Greek)boule), and certainly not θελήσῃ,
