# Cornelius by name, a centurion of what was called the Italian Regiment
|
|
|
|
"his name was Cornelius. He was an officer in charge of 100 soldiers from the Italian section of the Roman army.
|
|
|
|
# He was a devout man, one who worshiped God
|
|
|
|
"He believed in God and sought to honor and worship God in his life"
|
|
|
|
# worshiped God
|
|
|
|
The word for "worshiped" here has the sense of deep respect and awe.
|
|
|
|
# he constantly prayed to God
|
|
|
|
The word "constantly" is a generalization. AT: "he prayed to God a lot" or "he prayed to God regularly" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-hyperbole]])
