Mazmur 100:2

100:2 Worship ¹  the Lord with joy!

Enter his presence with joyful singing!

Yohanes 12:26

12:26 If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow ²  me, and where I am, my servant will be too. ³  If anyone serves me, the Father will honor him.

Roma 12:11

12:11 Do not lag in zeal, be enthusiastic in spirit, serve the Lord.

[100:2]  ¹ tn Or “serve.”

[12:26]  ² tn As a third person imperative in Greek, ἀκολουθείτω (akolouqeitw) is usually translated “let him follow me.” This could be understood by the modern English reader as merely permissive, however (“he may follow me if he wishes”). In this context there is no permissive sense, but rather a command, so the translation “he must follow me” is preferred.

[12:26]  ³ tn Grk “where I am, there my servant will be too.”
