Acts 6:4 - Exposition

Continue steadfastly in for give ourselves continually to, A.V.; in (the ministry) for to, A.V. Steadfastly . The verb προσκαρτερέω is of frequent use in the Acts (see Acts 1:14 ; Acts 2:42 ; Acts 5:1-42 :46; Acts 8:13 ; x. 7; see also Colossians 4:2 ). It is used of persons and things to which any one adheres closely and perseveringly, which are put in the dative case, as here. But sometimes it has the prepositions ἐν or εἰς after it, as in Acts 5:1-42 :46; Hist. of Susann. 7; Romans 13:6 .
