THE SYNONYMOUS WORDS FOR "WORSHIP". Appendix 137 To The Companion Bible. | ||
---|---|---|
The following
six Greek words are rendered
"worship" in the
Authorized Version:—
1. proskuneo = to prostrate one's self (in reverence), do homage. Used, therefore, of the act of worship. 2. sebomai = to revere, to feel awe. Used, therefore, of the inward feelings (as No. 1 is of the outward act). 3. sebazomai = to be shy, or timid at doing anything. Occurs only in Romans 1:25. |
4.
latreuo =
to serve in
official service
(for hire,
or reward).
Used of serving God
in the externals of
His worship.
5. eusebeo = to be pious or devout towards any one; to act with reverence, respect, and honor. 6. therapeuo = to wait upon, minister to (as a doctor does); hence = to heal; to render voluntary service and attendance. Thus differing from No. 4. |
