a Luke 14:10-11 (But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest
place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up
higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table
with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who
humble themselves will be exalted.”)

b John 13:12-17 (After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and
had returned to the table, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done
to you? You call me Teacher and Lord - and you are right, for that is what I
am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought
to wash one another’s feet. For I have set you an example, that you also
should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not
greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who
sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.)

c Mark 9:35 (He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “Whoever
wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all.”)

d 1 Thessalonians 1:2-7 (…For we know, brothers and sisters beloved by
God, that he has chosen you, because our message of the gospel came to
you not in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full
conviction …And you became imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of
persecution you received the word with joy in inspired by the Holy Spirit, so
that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in
Achaia.)
Acts 20:24

e Philippians 2:3-4 (Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in
humility regard others as better than yourselves. Let each of you look not to
your own interests, but to the interest of others.)
Galatians 6:4
