"^^ The term iepoupyeai, which we have translated as above, is one whose signification is disputed. It occurs once in the New Testa- ment (Rom. XV. 16) where it is translated in our English version simply "ministering." Etymologically, it means " to act as a priest," and we have in our translation followed Hesychius (Cent, iv.), who explains it as meaning "to offer sacrifice." [The whole passage in the Epistle to the Romans, where this word occurs may be compared (original Greek) with Mai. i. 11, Heb. v. i, etc.]
