What the Bible says about: Servitude
| Matthew 23:11 | But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. |
| Mark 10:43-45 | But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: |
| And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. | |
| For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. | |
| Luke 22:26-27 | But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. |
| For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. | |
| John 13:12-15 | So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments, and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you? |
| Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am. | |
| If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. | |
| For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. | |
| 1 Corinthians 9:18-22 | What is my reward then? Verily that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel. |
| For though I be free from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more. | |
| And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I might gain the Jews; to them that are under the law, as under the law, that I might gain them that are under the law; | |
| To them that are without law, as without law, (being not without law to God, but under the law to Christ,) that I might gain them that are without law. | |
| To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. | |
| 2 Corinthians 8:9 | For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. |
| Philippians 2:5-8 | Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: |
| Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: | |
|
But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the |
|
| And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. |

| But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. |
| Mark 10:43-45 |
| But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: |
| And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. |
| For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. |
| Luke 22:26-27 |
| But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve. |
| For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? is not he that sitteth at meat? but I am among you as he that serveth. |
