Example: Christ, Our

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

But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, …

For who is greater, the one who reclines at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who reclines? But I am among you as one who serves.

You call Me Teacher and Lord, and rightly so, because I am. …

A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another.

Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. …

For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

Now by the mildness and gentleness of Christ, I appeal to you—I, Paul, who am humble when face to face with you, but bold when away.

Be imitators of God, therefore, as beloved children,

…and walk in love, just as Christ loved us and gave Himself up for us as a fragrant sacrificial offering to God.

Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus: …

Bear with one another and forgive any complaint you may have against someone else. Forgive as the Lord forgave you.

Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Consider Him who endured such hostility from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.

For to this you were called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His footsteps:

For it is better, if it is God’s will, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, to bring you to God. He was put to death in the body but made alive in the Spirit,

Therefore, since Christ suffered in His body, arm yourselves with the same resolve, because anyone who has suffered in his body is done with sin.

Whoever claims to abide in Him must walk as Jesus walked.

By this we know what love is: Jesus laid down His life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.

To the one who overcomes, I will grant the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.
