‏ 2 Corinthians 9:12

Service ( λειτουργιας ). Old word from λεως (people, λαος ), λειτος like δημοσιος, public, and εργον, work. So public service either in worship to God (Lu 1:23) or benefaction to others (2Co 9:12; Php 2:30). Our word liturgy is this word.

Filleth up ( εστιν προσαναπληρουσα ). Present active periphrastic indicative of double compound verb προσαναπληροω, Koine word, here and 11:9 only in N.T., to fill up by adding to. The Corinthians simply added to the total from others.

Unto God ( τω θεω ). Dative case and with a certain suddenness as at close of verse 11, really a parenthesis between in the somewhat tangled sentence.
