1. in Attic, especially the orators, "to serve the state at one's own cost; to assume an office which must be administered at one's own expense; to discharge a public office at one's own cost; to render public service to the state" (cf. Melanchthon in Apology, Confessions, Augustine, p. 270f (Corpus Reformat. edition Bindseil (post Bretschn.) vol. xxvli., p. 623, and F. Francke, Conf. Luth., Part i., p. 271 note (Lipsius 1846)); Wolf, Demosthenes, Lept., p. 85ff; Böckh, Athen. Staatshaush. i., p. 480ff; Lübker, Reallex. des class. Alterth. (or Smith, Dict. of Greek and Rom. Antiq.) under the word
2. universally, to do service, to perform a work; Vulg.ministro (A. V. to minister);
a. of the priests and Levites who were busied with the sacred rites in the tabernacle or the temple (so the Sept. often for
λειτουργέω , - ῶ
( < λειτουργός ),
[in LXX chiefly for H8334 pi ., also for H5647, H6633, etc.;]
1. in cl ., at Athens, to supply public offices at one's own cost, render public service to the State, hence, generally,
2. to serve the State, do a service, serve (of service to the Gods, Diod ., i, 21): of the official service of priests and Levites (Exo 29:30, Num 16:9, Sir 4:14 , 1Ma 10:42 , al. ; cf. Deiss., BS , 140 f .), Heb 10:11; of Christians: c . dat . pers . seq . ἐν , Rom 15:27 ( cf. Sir 10:25 ); τ . κυρίῳ , Act 13:2. †
SYN.: λατρεύω G3000 ( q.v. ), prop ., to serve for hire, LXX (as some-times in cl .), always of service to the deity on the part of both priests and people (Exo 4:3, Deu 10:12, and similarly in NT). λειτουργέω G3008 "is the fulfilment of an office: it has a definite representative character, and corresponds with a function to be discharged". It is therefore used of serving in an office or ministry: in LXX always of priests and Levites, in NT, with its cognates (Rom 13:6; Rom 15:27, are not really exceptions), of services rendered either to God or man by apostles, prophets, teachers, and other officers of the church ( cf. Tr., Syn. , § xxxv; ICC on Rom 1:9; Westc ., He., 232 ff .).
