Romans 12:13

χρεία (G5532) нужда,
κοινωνούντες praes. act. part. от κοινωνέω (G2841) делиться, быть товарищем, отдавать дань или делиться, по отношению к финансовым или материальным вкладам (Dunn; TDNT).
φιλοξενία (G5381) гостеприимство, хорошее отношение к странникам; умение охотно принять странника в доме как гостя, дать ему кров, пищу и свою дружбу (TLNT; TDNT; EDNT; RAC, 8:1061-123; DGRA, 619-21). Вероятно, это было важно для христиан-путешественников, особенно в Риме (Cranfield; Dunn; NDIEC, 7:55).
διώκοντές praes. act. part. от διώκω (G1377) преследовать.
