Names (personal, company) / School Motto
English term or phrase: Faith, Honor, and Service
We have currently "Fidem, Honorem Et Officium" but I am not sure if that is the right declension for a school motto. We are trying to avoid the word "Servitium" because of its connotation of servitude/slavery rather than duty. We are also looking at "Beneficium" or "Utilitatem" for service, happy to take any suggestions, thank you!

Explanation:
These would be the approximate equivalents in classical Latin (i.e., from the period (80 BCE-30 CE). During this time, many nouns in -or retained their original ending in -os, side by side with the later ending in -or. I've omitted the et ('and') as superfluous.
