'Service' in the Bible

For every high priest taken from men is appointed in service to God for the people, to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins.

For he, of whom these things are said, belongs to a different tribe, of which no one has ever been attached to the service of the altar.

They serve as a pattern and foreshadowing of [what has its true existence and reality in] the heavenly things (sanctuary). For when Moses was about to erect the tabernacle, he was warned by God, saying, “See that you make it all [exactly] according to the pattern which was shown to you on the mountain.”

Then verily the first covenant had also ordinances of divine service, and a worldly sanctuary.

Now when these things were thus ordained, the priests went always into the first tabernacle, accomplishing the service of God.

Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;

and both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the service with blood in like manner he did sprinkle,

Every priest stands [at his altar of service] ministering daily, offering the same sacrifices over and over, which are never able to strip away sins [that envelop and cover us];

because he deemed the reproaches which he might meet with in the service of the Christ to be greater riches than all the treasures of Egypt; for he fixed his gaze on the coming reward.
