"The kings of the
Gentiles lord it over them; and those who exercise authority over
them call themselves Benefactors. But you are not to be like that. Instead,
the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who
rules like the one who serves. For who is greater, the one who
is at the table or the one who serves? Is it not the one who is at
the table? But I am among you as one who serves." (Luke 22:25,26)
"For whoever
exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be
exalted."
(Matthew 23:12)
