Attendance Attend Attendant
Attendance Attend Attendant [1]
"to take heed, give heed," is said of the priests who "gave attendance at the altar," Hebrews 7:13 . It suggests devotion of thought and effort to a thing. In 1 Timothy 4:13 (in the exhortation regarding the public reading of the Scriptures), the Rv translates it "give heed," for the Av, "give attendance." In Acts 16:14 , "to give heed" (for Av, "attended"). See Beware , Give , No. 17, Regard.
"to be steadfast," a strengthened form of kartereo (pros, "towards," intensive, karteros, "strong"), denotes to continue steadfastly in a thing and give unremitting care to it, e.g., Romans 13:6 , of rulers in the discharge of their functions. See Continue , Wait. In the Sept., Numbers 13:21 .
lit., "sitting well beside" (eu, "well," para, "beside," hedra, "a seat"), i.e., sitting constantly by, and so applying oneself diligently to, anything, is used in 1 Corinthians 7:35 , with pros, "upon," "that ye may attend upon." Some mss. have euprosedron.
lit.,"an under-rower;" hence, "a servant," is rendered "attendant" in Luke 4:20 and Acts 13:5 , Rv. See Minister , Officer , Servant.
