Matthew 20:27

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

and whosoever would be first among you shall be your servant:

See the chapter Copy

Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;

even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

But ye shall not be so: but he that is the greater among you, let him become as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

I am debtor both to Greeks and to Barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish.

For I reckon that I am not a whit behind the very chiefest apostles.

And I will most gladly spend and be spent for your souls. If I love you more abundantly, am I loved the less?

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake.
