There’s no mention of SS checks in Scripture so you should refuse to cash them, anyway.

What is the English language term for the Greek word “Diakonos?”

If you can find priests in presbytoi like annalex it should be a snap for me to find SS checks!

Diakonos has rather broad application and could be translated as minister, waiter, servant hence Christ was termed diakonos, angels, women, secular authorities were also.

The term deacon is more a transliteration than a translation of diakonos.
