Team definition
A noun from θύω for an offering or sacrifice, both the act of offering and what is offered. It is used of cultic sacrifices, often in the plural, and with verbs of offering, bringing, or giving. It is also used metaphorically of gifts or acts treated as sacrifice, including Phil 4:18, Heb 13:15–16, 1 Pet 2:5, and Rom 12:1. The entry records that range; it does not identify which offering a metaphor recalls.
