Matthew 18:4
4 aWhoever humbles himself like this child is the bgreatest in the kingdom of heaven.Mark 9:33-35
Who Is the Greatest?
33And cthey came to Capernaum. And when he was in the house dhe asked them, “What were you discussing on the way?” 34But they kept silent, for on the way ethey had argued with one another about who was the greatest. 35And he sat down and called the twelve. And he said to them, f“If anyone would be first, he must be last of all and servant of all.”Luke 22:26
26 gBut not so with you. Rather, let hthe greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.Acts 20:34-35
34 iYou yourselves know that jthese hands ministered to my necessities and kto those who were with me. 35In all things lI have shown you that mby working hard in this way we must nhelp the weak and oremember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, ‘It is more blessed pto give than to receive.’”Romans 1:14
14 qI am under obligation both to Greeks and to rbarbarians, ▼▼That is, non-Greeks
both to the wise and to the foolish. 1 Corinthians 9:19-23
19For tthough I am free from all, uI have made myself a servant to all, that I might vwin more of them. 20 wTo the Jews I became as a Jew, in order to win Jews. To those under the law I became as one under the law (though not being myself under the law) that I might win those under the law. 21To xthose outside the law I became yas one outside the law (not being outside the law of God but zunder the law of Christ) that I might win those outside the law. 22 aaTo the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak. abI have become all things to all people, that acby all means I might save some. 23I do it all for the sake of the gospel, adthat I may share with them in its blessings.
