'Service' in the Bible

to the last-named an odor of death predictive of death, and to the others an odor of life predictive of life. And for such service as this who is competent?

You are demonstrating that you are the Messiah's letter, produced by our service, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.

But if the service of death, written engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the children of Israel could not look steadfastly on the face of Moses for the glory of his face; which was passing away:

won't service of the Spirit be with much more glory?

For if the ministry that brings condemnation [the old covenant, the Law] has glory, how much more does glory overflow in the ministry that brings righteousness [the new covenant which declares believers free of guilt and sets them apart for God’s special purpose]!

Therefore, being engaged in this service and being mindful of the mercy which has been shown us, we are not cowards.

For if we have been beside ourselves, it has been for God's glory; or if we are now in our right senses, it is in order to be of service to you.

We give no occasion of stumbling in anything, that our service may not be blamed,

begging of us with much entreaty to give effect to the grace and fellowship of the service which was to be rendered to the saints.

As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker in your service; and as for the [other two] brothers, they are [special] messengers of the churches, a glory and credit to Christ.

For it is not necessary for me to write you about this service to the saints,

For the administration of this service not only supplieth the want of the saints, but is abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God;

They will glorify God for your obedience to the confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with others through the proof provided by this service.

I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service.
