and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave –
Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
It must not be this way among you! Instead whoever wants to be great among you must be your servant,
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
Not so with you; instead the one who is greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the one who serves.
I am a debtor both to the Greeks and to the barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.
For I consider myself not at all inferior to those “super-apostles.”
Now I will most gladly spend and be spent for your lives! If I love you more, am I to be loved less?
For we do not proclaim ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake.
