But you must not be like that. Instead, the most important among you should be like the youngest, and the one who rules should be like the one who serves.
In the same way, you who are younger should follow the lead of your elders. All of you should have a humble attitude toward one another, because Scripture says, “God opposes those who are proud, but he gives grace to those who are humble.”
Then he told them, “Anyone who welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me, and anyone who welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. The one who is considered least important among you is the most important of all.”
Jesus sat down and called for the 12 disciples to come to him. “Anyone who wants to be the first must be the very last,” he told them. “They have to be a servant to everyone else.”
Don’t live the way this world lives. Let your way of thinking be completely changed. Then you’ll be able to recognize what God wants for you and agree that what he wants is right. His plan is good and pleasing and perfect.
