   If friend james wants to find the greek meaning of "worship"; he should do   
   so as it appears in the Matt. examples.  Thee wise men said they had come   
   to "worship him"; the king said he also wanted to "worship".  Go for it,   
   what in those specific 2 uses does the greek word mean, not a generic word   
   meaning  for "worship".
