Matthew 20:27

New King James Version

And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—

See the chapter Copy

But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the younger, and he who governs as he who serves.

For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus’ sake.

Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

I am a debtor both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to wise and to unwise.

And I will very gladly spend and be spent for your souls; though the more abundantly I love you, the less I am loved.

For I consider that I am not at all inferior to the most eminent apostles.

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.

just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”
