rwp - Romans:1:9

rwp@Romans:1:9 @{I serve} (\latreu\). Old verb from \latron\, hire, and \latris\, hireling, so to serve for hire, then to serve in general gods or men, whether sacred services (Hebrews:9:9; strkjv@10:2|) or spiritual service as here. Cf. strkjv@Romans:12:1; strkjv@Phillipians:3:3|. {Unceasingly} (\adialeipts\). Late adverb for which see strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:2f.; strkjv@2:13; strkjv@5:17|, only other N.T. examples. {Always} (\pantote\). One might think that Paul prayed for no others, but he uses both adverbs in strkjv@1Thessalonians:1:2|. He seems to have had prayer lists. He never omitted the Romans.
