In 2Pe 1:3-4, the word is , ‘of or pertaining to God.’ His divine power hath given us all things that pertain to life and godliness; also, through the communication of exceeding great and precious promises, believers become partakers of the divine nature. In Heb 9:1 the word is , ‘ordinances of service’ (the word ‘divine’ is better left out, though it was God who gave the O.T. ritual) The same word is translated ‘service’ in Joh 16:2; Rom 9:4; Rom 12:1<\/p>\n
“Divine” (from theos, “God”), is used of the power of God, 2Pe 1:3<\/span>, and of His nature, 2Pe 1:4<\/span>, in each place, as that which proceeds from Himself. In Act 17:29<\/span> it is used as a noun with the definite article, to denote “the Godhead,” the Deity (i.e., the one true God). This word, instead of theos, was purposely used by the Apostle in speaking to Greeks on Mars Hill, as in accordance with Greek usage. Cp. DIVINITY. In the Sept., Exo 31:3<\/span>; Exo 35:31<\/span>; Job 27:3<\/span>; Job 33:4<\/span>; Pro 2:17<\/span>. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n akin to latreuo, “to serve,” primarily, any service for hire, denotes in Scripture the service of God according to the requirements of the Levitical Law, Rom 9:4<\/span>; Heb 9:1<\/span>, Heb 9:6<\/span>, “Divine service.” It is used in the more general sense of service to God, in Joh 16:2<\/span>; Rom 12:1<\/span>. See SERVICE. <\/p>\n DIVINE Something relating to God. The word is also used figuratively for any thing that is excellent, extraordinary, and that seems to go beyond the power of nature and the capacity of man. It also signifies a minister, or clergyman.
