Greetings Toronto Student and welcome to the forum. Although I think your Koine Greek spelling is off a little, LOGIKOS LATERIA, which came to be translated, reasonable service in the KJV. LOGIKON from the root, adjective: accusative, feminine, singular of LOGINKEN, with the word spiritual probably coming closer. And LARERIA, or service is from the base of the noun: accusative, feminine, singular of LATREIAN and carries the meaning of worship. Romans 12:1 KJV I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. Romans 12:1 NIV Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God--this is your spiritual act of worship. Romans 12:1 NASB I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. The Key to this verse lies in the word therefore, which point back to something previous. Romans 11:33-36 NASB Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways! 34For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR? 35Or WHO HAS FIRST GIVEN TO HIM THAT IT MIGHT BE PAID BACK TO HIM AGAIN? 36For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen. I urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. No chapter brakes in the original. God has paid the horrendous price to liberate us, by the death of His Son Jesus, so this is the least we could do. Have a great day, CDBJ |

3 | What is the meaning of logike latreia? | Rom 12:1 | Toronto Student | 112307 | ||
Thanks CDBJ, for the quick response, and for finding the Greek...I'm still scratching my head, because a Google search brought up 71 hits on the "Logike Latreia" spelling - a couple of which were Theological seminaries calling for papers on those words, exactly as I've spelled them!? The sense that I'm getting from what I've been able to piece together so far, is that the term has it's roots in the Romans passage, but that it has been morphed over time, into a name for some specific kind of contemplative prayer, or more likely a name used to describe the worship component necessarily involved in Biblical studies, i.e. the warning theological students usually receive, that to study scriptures is a 'doxology of the mind' and a form of worship - not simply an intellectual enterprise. So my question is really about the history of this term and how it came into use, whether it was the monastic tradition, etc.?? I'm still searching through the 71 Google hits... | ||||||

Thankyou, yes - the library will soon take over the house! If you're at all interested, I think I've hit paydirt on a website. Try www.godstory.net/Lesson_34_The_Renewing_of_Your_Mind_(12.1-2).htm This article covers the history of the term "logike latreia" in some depth, noting difficulties in translation and giving several spellings (including the one you pointed out) as part of its history. Fascinating stuff. Thanks for all your help. Toronto Student. |
