In the 4Q521 fragment (known as the Resurrection Fragment) from the Dead Sea Scrolls translated by the Geza Vermes, it mentions the word SERVICE. In the spiritual community it is often called the "Path of Service".
"The heavens and the earth will listen to His Messiah, and none therein will stray from the commandments of the holy ones.
"The heavens and the earth will listen to His Messiah, and none therein will stray from the commandments of the holy ones.
Seekers of the Lord, strengthen yourselves in His service! All you hopeful in your heart will you not find the Lord in this? For the Lord will consider the pious and call the righteous by name.
Over the poor his Spirit will hover, and renew the faithful with His power. And he will glorify the pious on the throne of the eternal Kingdom. He who liberates the captives, restores sight to the blind, straightens the bent. And forever I will cleave to the hopeful, and in his mercy.

And the fruit will not be delayed for anyone. And the Lord will accomplish things that have never been. For he will heal the wounded, and revive the dead, and bring good news to the poor. He will lead the uprooted, and knowledge and smoke".
