Matthew 20:27

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

And whoever would be first among you, let him be your servant:

See the chapter Copy

And ye not so: but let the greater with you be as the younger; and he leading, as he serving.

For we proclaim not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus.

Whoever, therefore, should be humbled as this young child, the same is the greater in the kingdom of the heavens.

Both to Greeks, and foreigners; both to wise and unwise, I am debtor.

And I very willingly will expend and be expended for your souls; if also loving you more abundantly, the less I should be loved.

For I reckon myself to be nothing greatly inferior to the sent.

But it shall not be so among you; but whoever should wish to be great among you, let him be your attendant;

As the Son of man came not to be served, but to serve, and to give his soul a ransom for many.
