   Across the occurrences, the noun identifies persons in service roles. The accusative plural form occurs of angels in Hebrews 1:7, while the nominative plural occurs of those who attend continually to a duty in Romans 13:6; singular forms occur in the clauses about holy things and the true tent in Hebrews 8:2, Epaphroditus and a need in Philippians 2:25, and ministry of Christ Jesus among the Gentiles in Romans 15:16. In Hebrews 8:2 the APB renders the clause "He is a minister of the holy things and of the true tent," and in Romans 15:16 it renders "To be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles."
