It conveys the idea of performing duties or functions that are dedicated to God and the community of believers. This term emphasizes the role of serving others as an act of worship and devotion to God.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of "leitourgia" referred to public service or work done for the benefit of the community, often at one's own expense. In the context of the early Christian church, this idea was adapted to describe the spiritual service and ministry performed by believers, especially those in leadership roles. The term reflects the communal and sacrificial nature of Christian service, where individuals are called to serve God and others selflessly.<div class="vheading2">HELPS Word-studies</div><p class="discovery"><b>Cognate: 3010</b> <i>leitourgikós</i>(an adjective, derived from <a href="/greek/3011.htm">3011</a> <i>/leitourgós</i>, "sacred ministry/service to God") – divinely-authorized (service) referring to sacred ministering that performs what is <i>acceptable</i> to <i>the all-holy God</i>.</p><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/discovery.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/3011.htm">leitourgos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>of or for service<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ministering (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3010: λειτουργικός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">λειτουργικός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">λειτουργικη</span>, <span class="greek2">λειτουργικον</span> (<span class="greek2">λειτουργία</span>), "relating to the performance of service, employed in ministering: <span class="greek2">σκεύη</span>, <a href="/interlinear/numbers/4.htm">Numbers 4</a>:(12),26, etc.; <span class="greek2">στολαί</span>, <a href="/interlinear/exodus/31-10.htm">Exodus 31:10</a>, etc.; <span class="greek2">πνεύματα</span>, of angels executing God's behests, <a href="/interlinear/hebrews/1-14.htm">Hebrews 1:14</a>; also <span class="greek2">αἱ</span> <span class="greek2">λειτουργικαι</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">δυνάμεσι</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Ignatius</span> ad Philad. 9 [ET] (longer recension); <span class="greek2">τό</span> <span class="greek2">πᾶν</span> <span class="greek2">πλῆθος</span> <span class="greek2">τῶν</span> <span class="greek2">ἀγγέλων</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">πῶς</span> <span class="greek2">τῷ</span> <span class="greek2">θελήματι</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">λειτουργουσι</span> <span class="greek2">παρεστῶτες</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Clement of Rome</span>, 1 Cor. 34, 5 [ET], cf.
