and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave,
and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant:
And whoever desires to be first among you must be your slave–
and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:
Whoever wants to be first among you will be your slave—
And whoever will want to be first among you, he shall be your servant,
And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant.
Whoever becomes humble like this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
It will not be so among you, but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant,
just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve and to give his life a ransom for many.”
But not so with you; rather, the greatest among you must become like the youngest and the leader like one who serves.
I am obligated both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish,
I think that I am not in the least inferior to these super-apostles.
I will most gladly spend and be spent for you. If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
For we do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’s sake.
