| Whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister; and whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.1 |
| If a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.2 – I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man, … not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.3 – When ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.4 |
| Our rejoicing is this, … that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world.5 – We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.6 |
