“It hath pleased them verily; and their debtors they are. For if the Gentiles have been made partakers of their spiritual things, their duty is also to minister unto them in carnal things.”
They were pleased to do it, and indeed they owe it to them. For if the Gentiles have shared in the Jews' spiritual blessings, they ought to serve them with their material blessings. — Eudokeō (were pleased) and indeed ōpheilō (they are indebted, owe). If the Gentiles have metaschēmatizō (participated in) the pneumatika (spiritual things) of the Jews, then opielo (they ought) leitourgein (to minister, serve) autois (them) in their hylika (material, earthly things). Spiritual blessing generates material obligation.
