Matthew 4:8 Douay-Rheims

Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,

Augustine of Hippo

A.D. 354–430 Patristic

(De Civ. Dei, x. 1.) By service is to be understood the honour due to God; as our version renders the Greek word ‘latria,’ wherever it occurs in Scripture, by ‘service’ (servitus), but that service which is due to men (as where the Apostle bids slaves be subject to their masters) is in Greek called ‘dulia;’ while ‘latria,’ always, or so often that we say always, is used of that worship which belongs to God.
