For God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you For God The phrase "For God" sets the foundation of the verse, emphasizing the divine authority and presence in Paul's life. The Greek word for God here is "Theos," which signifies the supreme deity, the Creator, and Sustainer of all. In a conservative Christian perspective, this underscores the belief in a personal God who is actively involved in the lives of believers. The invocation of God as a witness highlights the seriousness and sincerity of Paul's statement, as God is the ultimate judge of truth. whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of His Son is my witness how constantly I remember you Whom I serve.--The word for "serve" is strictly used for voluntary service paid to God, especially in the way of sacrifice and outward worship. Here it is somewhat metaphorical: "Whom I serve, not so much with outward acts as with the ritual of the spirit." With my spirit.--"Spirit" is with St. Paul the highest part or faculty in the nature of man. It is the seat of his higher consciousness--the organ by which he communicates with God. "Certainly man is of kin to the beasts by his body; and if he be not of kin to God by his spirit, he is a base and ignoble creature." (Bacon, Essay on Atheism.) Of itself the "spirit" of man is neutral. When brought into contact with the Spirit of God, it is capable of a truly religious life; but apart from this influence, it is apt to fall under the dominion of the "flesh"--i.e., of those evil appetites and desires to which man is exposed by his physical organisation. In the gospel of his Son.--The sphere to which the Apostle feels himself called, and in which this heart-worship of his finds its field of operation, is the defence and preaching, &c., of the gospel. (9-11) It is the constant subject of the Apostle's prayers that he may succeed in making his way to Rome; so anxious is he to open his heart to that Church in personal- apostolic intercourse. Verse 9. - For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I make mention of you in my prayers. A like solemn asseveration is made with a like intention (Philippians 1:8; cf. also 2 Corinthians 11:31). It expresses the writer's earnestness, and is in place for attestation of a fact known only to himself and God. The word λατρεύω, ("I serve"), when used in a religious sense, most usually denotes "worship," and specifically the priestly services of the temple (Hebrews 8:5; Hebrews 9:9; Hebrews 10:2; Hebrews 13:10). St. Paul's λατρεία intended here is not ceremonial function, but a spiritual one (ἐν τῷ πνεύματί μου) - an inward devotion of himself to God's service in proclaiming and furthering "the gospel of his Son." A similar view of the essential λατρεία of Christians is found in Romans 12:1; Romans 15:16; Philippians 3:3; 2 Timothy 1:3; Hebrews 9:14.Parallel Commentaries ...
