rwp @Romans:12:7 @{Let us give ourselves }. There is no verb in the Greek . We must supply \d “men heautous \ or some such phrase . {Or he that teacheth } (\eite ho didask “n \). Here the construction changes and no longer do we have the accusative case like \diakonian \ (general word for Christian service of all kinds including ministers and deacons ) as the object of \echontes \, but the nominative articular participle . A new verb must be supplied of which \ho didask “n \ is the subject as with the succeeding participles through verse 8 |. Perhaps in each instance the verb is to be repeated from the participle like \didasket “\ here (let him teach ) or a general term \poieit “\ (let him do it ) can be used for all of them as seems necessary before "with liberality " in verse 8 | (\en haplot ˆti \, in simplicity , for which word , see strkjv @Matthew:6:22 ; strkjv @2Corinthians:8:2 ; strkjv @9:11 ,13 |). {He that ruleth } (\ho proistamenos \). "The one standing in front " for which see strkjv @1Thessalonians:5:12 |. {With diligence } (\en spoud ˆi \). "In haste " as if in earnest (Mark:6:25 ; strkjv @2Corinthians:7:11f ., strkjv @8:8 ,16 |), from \speud “\, to hasten . Again verse 11 |. {With cheerfulness } (\en hilarot ˆti \). Late word , only here in N .T ., from \hilaros \ (2Corinthians:9:7 |) cheerful , hilarious .
