Matthew 20:25-27

25 But Jesus called them to him and said, ^a“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles ^blord it over them, and their great ones exercise authority over them. 26 ^cIt shall not be so among you. But whoever would be great among you must be your servant, ^{▼▼Greek diakonos} 27 and whoever would be first among you must be your slave, ^{▼▼Greek bondservant (doulos)}

Luke 22:25-26

25 ^fAnd he said to them, “The kings of the Gentiles ^gexercise lordship over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors. 26 ^hBut not so with you. Rather, let ⁱthe greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.

John 13:14-15

14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, ^jyou also ought to wash one another’s feet. 15 For I have given you an example, ^kthat you also should do just as I have done to you.

Romans 15:1-2

The Example of Christ

1 ^lWe who are strong ^mhave an obligation to bear with the failings of the weak, and not to please ourselves. 2 ⁿLet each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

2 Corinthians 1:24

24 Not that we ^olord it over your faith, but we work with you for your joy, for you stand firm ^pin your faith.

2 Corinthians 5:14-15

14 For the love of Christ ^qcontrols us, because we have concluded this: that ^rone has died for all, therefore all have died; 15 and he died for all, ^sthat those who live might no longer live for themselves but ^tfor him who for their sake died and was raised.
