G1249 — διάκονος

διακονου, ὁ, ἡ (of uncertain origin, but by no means, as was formerly thought, compounded of διά and κόνις, so as to mean, properly, 'raising dust by hastening'; cf. ἐγκόνειν; for the alpha in the preposition διά is short, in διάκονος, long. Alexander Buttmann (1873) Lexil. i., p. 218ff (English translation, p. 231f) thinks it is derived from the obsolete διάκω equivalent to διήκω (allied with διώκω; cf. Vanicek, p. 363)); one who executes the commands of another, especially of a master; a sergeant, attendant, minister;

1. universally: of the servant of a king, Mat 22:13; with the genitive of the person served, Mat 20:26; Mat 23:11; Mar 9:35; Mar 10:43 (in which passage it is used figuratively of those who advance others' interests even at the sacrifice of their own); τῆς ἐκκλησίας, of one who does what promotes the welfare and prosperity of the church, Col 1:25; διάκονοι τοῦ Θεοῦ, those through whom God carries on his administration on earth, as magistrates, Rom 13:4; teachers of the Christian religion, 1Co 3:5; 2Co 6:4; 1Th 3:2 R T Tr WH text L marginal reading; the same are called διάκονοι (τοῦ) Χριστοῦ, 2Co 11:23; Col 1:7; 1Ti 4:6; ἐν κυρίῳ, in the cause of the Lord, Col 4:7; (Eph 6:21); ὁ διάκονος μου, my follower, Joh 12:26; τοῦ Σατανᾶ, whom Satan uses as a servant, 2Co 11:15; (ἁμαρτίας, Gal 2:17); διάκονος περιτομῆς (abstract for concrete), of Christ, who labored for the salvation of the circumcised, i. e. the Jews, Rom 15:8; with the genitive of the thing to which service is rendered, i. e. to which one is devoted: καινῆς διαθήκης, 2Co 3:6; τοῦ εὐαγγελίου, Eph 3:7; Col 1:23; δικαιοσύνης, 2Co 11:15.

2. a deacon, one who, by virtue of the office assigned him by the church, cares for the poor and has charge of and distributes the money collected for their use (cf. BB. DD., Dict. of Christ.
