did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have

worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen,
vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
Rev 19:10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou
do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony
of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. .

seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these

and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this
book: worship God. .
