Λατρεία, whenever it occurs in\r\nScripture, is rendered by the word service. But that service\r\nwhich is due to men, and in reference to which the apostle\r\nwrites that servants must be subject to their own masters,<a id=\"FNanchor_365_365\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_365_365\">[365]</a> is\r\nusually designated by another word in Greek,<a id=\"FNanchor_366_366\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_366_366\">[366]</a> whereas the\r\nservice which is paid to God alone by worship, is always, or\r\nalmost always, called λατρεία in the usage of those who wrote\r\nfrom the divine oracles. This cannot so well be called simply\r\n\"cultus,\" for in that case it would not seem to be due exclusively\r\nto God; for the same word is applied to the respect\r\nwe pay either to the memory or the living presence of men.\r\nFrom it, too, we derive the words agriculture, colonist, and\r\nothers.<a id=\"FNanchor_367_367\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_367_367\">[367]</a> And the heathen call their gods \"cœlicolæ,\" not because\r\nthey worship heaven, but because they dwell in it, and\r\nas it were colonize it,—not in the sense in which we call those\r\ncolonists who are attached to their native soil to cultivate it<span class=\"pagenum\"><a id=\"Page_384\">[Pg 384]</a></span>\r\nunder the rule of the owners, but in the sense in which the\r\ngreat master of the Latin language says, \"There was an ancient\r\ncity inhabited by Tyrian colonists.\"<a id=\"FNanchor_368_368\"></a><a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_368_368\">[368]</a> He called them colonists,\r\nnot because they cultivated the soil, but because they inhabited\r\nthe city. So, too, cities that have hived off from\r\nlarger cities are called colonies. Consequently, while it is\r\nquite true that, using the word in a special sense, \"cult\" can\r\nbe rendered to none but God, yet, as the word is applied to\r\nother things besides, the cult due to God cannot in Latin be\r\nexpressed by this word alone.</p>","headings":["THE WORKS OF AURELIUS AUGUSTINE,","BOOK TENTH.","ARGUMENT."],"marker_anchor":null,"paragraph_id":"pg45304-paragraph-680"}],"canonical_references":[],"date_end":null,"date_start":null,"deduplication_fingerprint":"d3a65426a9b1673958285843b8e5c4b0a7e4b2998670cee5219f802a02a6cf0f","edition_title":"The City of God, Volume I","edition_translators":["Marcus Dods","George Wilson (Book IV)","J.
