<p> '''''dū´ti''''' ( דּבר , <i> '''''dābhār''''' </i> ; ὀφείλω , <i> '''''opheı́lō''''' </i> ): The word duty occurs only three times in the Old Testament and twice in the New Testament. In the Old Testament it is the translation of <i> '''''dābhār''''' </i> , which, meaning originally "speech," or "word," came to denote any particular "matter" that had to be attended to. In the two places where it is rendered "duty" ( 2 Chronicles 8:14; Ezra 3:4 ) the reference is to the performance of the [[Temple]] services - praise and sacrifice - and it is probably from these passages that the phrase "taking duty" in church services is derived. In other passages we have different words employed to denote the priests' <i> dues </i> : the King James Version Leviticus 10:13 , Leviticus 10:14 , <i> '''''ḥōḳ''''' </i> ("statutory portion"); Deuteronomy 18:3 , <i> '''''mishpāṭ''''' </i> ("judgment"). In Proverbs 3:27 , we have a reference to duty in the moral sense, "Withhold not good from them to whom it is due," <i> '''''ba‛al''''' </i> (i.e. as in the King James Version margin, "from the <i> owners </i> thereof"). In Exodus 21:10 we have the "duty of marriage" ( <i> '''''‛ōnāh''''' </i> ), that which was due to the wife. </p> <p> In the New Testament "duty" is expressed by <i> '''''opheilō''''' </i> , "to owe," "to be due." In Luke 17:10 , we have "Say, ... we have done that which it was our duty to do," and in Romans 15:27 the King James Version, it is said of the [[Gentiles]] with reference to the [[Jewish]] Christians, "Their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things," the American Standard Revised Version "they owe it." In Matthew 18:34 we have "till he should pay all that was due" ''''' ‛''''' <i> opheilō </i> , "owing"), and in 1 Corinthians 7:3 the King James Version, "Render unto the wife due <i> '''''opheilḗ''''' </i> benevolence," the American Standard Revised Version "her due."
