root of Jesse” to show that people of the nations would have a place in the Christian congregation. Jesse was the father of David. (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/25/0" data-bid="26-1" class="b">Ru 4:17,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/25/1" data-bid="26-2" class="b"> 22;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/25/2" data-bid="26-3" class="b"> 1Sa 16:5-13</a>) The apostle Paul here quotes from the <em>Septuagint</em> rendering of <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/26/0" data-bid="27-1" class="b">Isa 11:10</a>, where it was foretold that the coming Messiah would be called “the root of Jesse.” (Compare <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/27/0" data-bid="28-1" class="b">Re 5:5</a>, where Jesus is called “the root of David”; see also <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/28/0" data-bid="29-1" class="b">Re 22:16</a>.) A root of a tree or of a plant normally comes before the trunk or the branches. So it might seem more logical that Jesse (or his son David) would be spoken of as the root from which Jesus would eventually come, since the Messiah was a descendant, not an ancestor, of Jesse (or David). (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/29/0" data-bid="30-1" class="b">Mt 1:1,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/29/1" data-bid="30-2" class="b"> 6,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/29/2" data-bid="30-3" class="b"> 16</a>) However, there are other Bible passages that support the idea that Jesus is the root of Jesse. Since Jesus is immortal, it is by means of him that Jesse’s genealogical line stays alive.

originally used by the ancient Greeks to refer to a person performing work or service under the civil authorities, usually at personal expense, for the benefit of the people. There was a similar arrangement under the Romans. As used in the Bible, the term usually refers to one who is serving in sacred office. The related term <em>lei·tour·giʹa</em> is frequently used in the <em>Septuagint</em> to refer to “duties” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/35/0" data-bid="36-1" class="b">Nu 7:5</a>) and “service” (<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/36/0" data-bid="37-1" class="b">Nu 4:28;</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/36/1" data-bid="37-2" class="b"> 1Ch 6:32</a> [6:17, <em>LXX</em>]) carried out by the priests at the tabernacle and at Jehovah’s temple in Jerusalem.

(<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/37/0" data-bid="38-1" class="b">Ro 11:13</a>) This preaching would be of great benefit to the public, particularly to people of the nations.</p> <p id="p18" data-pid="18" class="s5"><strong>engaging in the holy work:</strong> The Greek verb <em>hi·e·rour·geʹo</em> occurs only here in the Christian Greek Scriptures and denotes being involved in a sacred work or duty. “The holy work” that Paul engaged in was in connection with proclaiming <strong>the good news of God,</strong> the Christian message to people of all nations. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/3/0">study notes on Ro 1:1;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/4/0"> 1:9</a>.) By using this term, Paul showed that he appreciated the sacred and serious nature of that work. The expression Paul uses is related to the verb rendered “serving as priest” (<em>hi·e·ra·teuʹo</em>) at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/38/0" data-bid="39-1" class="b">Lu 1:8</a> and to the term for “temple” (<em>hi·e·ronʹ</em>) used at <a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/39/0" data-bid="40-1" class="b">Mt 4:5</a> and in many other verses. Perhaps because of this connection, Paul alludes to the sacrifices offered by priests at the temple when he compares those nations who accepted the message to an <strong>offering</strong> made to God. That offering was approved by God and blessed with his spirit.—<a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/40/0" data-bid="41-1" class="b">Ro 1:1,</a><a href="/en/wol/bc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/40/1" data-bid="41-2" class="b"> 16</a>.</p> </span></li></ul></div><div class="group marginal"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Marginal References</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/45/15/518" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-519"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ro 11:13; Ga 2:7, 8</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-519" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-519" class="extract"></div></div></li><li class="item collapsible marginal marginalExpander collapsed" data-src="/en/wol/marginalreference/r1/lp-e/nwtsty/45/15/519" data-extract-id="verseMarginal-520"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="scalableui">+</span></span><span class="icon"></span><span class="marginal title"><span class="scalableui">Ac 20:24</span></span></div><div class="content"><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-520" class="loading hidden"><span class="icon"></span></div><div data-extract-target-id="verseMarginal-520" class="extract"></div></div></li></ul></div><div class="group index collapsible collapsed"><div class="header"><span class="marker"><span class="icon"></span></span><span class="icon"></span><h4 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Indexes</span></h4></div><ul class="content"><li class="item ref-rsg" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Research Guide</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p907" data-pid="907" class="se"></p> <div id="p908" data-pid="908"><p data-pid="908" class="su"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204435/1033/0"><em>Kingdom Ministry,</em></a></p><p data-pid="908" class="sk"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1204435/1033/0">9/2011, p. 1</a></p> </div><p id="p909" data-pid="909" class="se"></p> </span></li><li class="item ref-dx" data-extract-id=""><div class="subtitle">Publications Index</div><span class="scalableui"><p id="p277" data-pid="277" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200270045/275/0">km 9/11 1;</a></p> <p id="p278" data-pid="278" class="sx"></p> <p id="p354" data-pid="354" class="sx"><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/352/0">w81 1/1 17-19,</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/352/4"> 21;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/352/6"> w79 12/15 5-6;</a><a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1200020045/352/8"> w78 7/1 26</a></p> <p id="p355" data-pid="355" class="sx"></p> </span></li></ul></div></div><div class="section" data-key="45-15-19" data-section-citation="045015019045015019"><h3 class="title"><span class="scalableui">Romans 15:19</span></h3><div class="studyNoteGroup"><ul class="content"><li class="item studyNote" data-extract-id=""><span class="scalableui"><p id="p20" data-pid="20" class="s5"><strong>wonders:</strong> Or “portents.”—See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/5/0">study note on Ac 2:19</a>.</p> <p id="p21" data-pid="21" class="s5"><strong>God’s spirit:</strong> Some ancient manuscripts read “holy spirit” or simply “the spirit,” but the main text reading chosen here has strong manuscript support.</p> <p id="p22" data-pid="22" class="s5"><strong>in a circuit as far as Illyricum:</strong> Illyricum was a Roman province and region named for the Illyrian tribes living there.

they owed it; they were under obligation.” In the Scriptures, the Greek word for “debtor” and other terms related to being in debt refer not only to financial debts but also to obligations or duties in general. (See <a href="/en/wol/pc/r1/lp-e/1001070732/8/0">study note on Ro 1:14</a>.) Paul’s point here is that Gentile believers were in debt to the Jewish Christians in Jerusalem because of having benefited from them spiritually.
