Bible Question:
Word study ... proskuneo, latreia, latreuo .... Restored, Where does the Bible say "Our whole life becomes worship in whatever we do,we do it unto the Lord?" Romans 12:1 is translated, "your spiritual service of worship". But, I say it is not translated correctly ... based on the original, context and the Greek word 1. The Original Having both service and worship not make sense, since it only appears once in the original ... logikh;n (spiritual) latreivan (service) uJmw'n: (your). 2. The Context The King James Version translates the last phrase, "which is your reasonable service." Which fits better? The rest of the chapter, even up to Romans 15:22 is about our service. 3. The Greek word Proskuneo is the main word for worship in Greek. The Greek verb for service is latreuo. Latreia is the Greek noun form, which Romans 12:1 is. Three times proskuneo and latreuo are linked together (Mat 4:10, Luk 4:8, Rom 1:25). Never is latreuo translated worship. The same is true for the Aramaic (Dan 3:12,14, 18, 28) and Hebrew counterparts (Exo 20:5, 23:24, Deu 4:19, 5:9, 8:19, 11:16, 17:3, 29:26, 30:17; 1 Kin 9:6, 9, 16:31, 22:53; 2 Kin 17:16, 21:3, 21:21; 2 Chr 7:19, 22, 33:3; Psa 97:7; Jer 25:6). Do not think service as being worship, tho they are related I never said "Worship is not just in a church assembly" ... that was the issue in John 4. While we can worship there, we can worship anywhere. |
Bible Answer: The Pharisees and Scribes were the most learned religious men of their time. But, they missed the hour of their visitation because their Messiah (our Lord Jesus Christ) did not conform to their very narrow interpretation and understanding of the Holy Writ. in Love, prazn |
