Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
Service (leitourgiav). Old word from lewv (people, laov), leitov like dhmosiov, public, and ergon, work. So public service either in worship to God (Luke 1:23) or benefaction to others (2 Corinthians 9:12; Philippians 2:30). Our word liturgy is this word.
Filleth up (estin prosanaplhrousa). Present active periphrastic indicative of double compound verb prosanaplhrow, Koin‚ word, here and 2 Corinthians 11:9 only in N.T., to fill up by adding to. The Corinthians simply added to the total from others.
Unto God (tw qew). Dative case and with a certain suddenness as at close of verse 2 Corinthians 9:11, really a parenthesis between in the somewhat tangled sentence.
