¹¹ Be not slow in your work, but be quick in spirit, as the Lord's servants;

²³ The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

¹³ And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

¹³ Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.

³⁵ And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

²⁶ If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

¹⁶ Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

¹⁷ So that the man of God may be complete, trained and made ready for every good work.

⁵⁸ For this cause, my dear brothers, be strong in purpose and unmoved, ever giving yourselves to the work of the Lord, because you are certain that your work is not without effect in the Lord.

²⁶ Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

²⁷ And whoever has a desire to be first among you, let him take the lowest place:

²⁸ Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

²⁸ Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

²⁴ No man is able to be a servant to two masters: for he will have hate for the one and love for the other, or he will keep to one and have no respect for the other. You may not be servants of God and of wealth.

²¹ His lord said to him, Well done, good and true servant: you have been true in a small thing, I will give you control over great things: take your part in the joy of your lord.

¹⁴ If then I, the Lord and the Master, have made your feet clean, it is right for you to make one another's feet clean.

¹⁶ As those who are free, not using your free position as a cover for wrongdoing, but living as the servants of God;

¹⁴ How much more will the blood of Christ, who, being without sin, made an offering of himself to God through the Holy Spirit, make your hearts clean from dead works to be servants of the living God?

⁴⁵ For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

²² The Lord will be the saviour of the souls of his servants, and no one who has faith in him will be put to shame.
