| "I
commend to you our sister Phoebe, a servant of the church in Cenchrea.I
ask you to receive her in the Lord in a way worthy of the saints and to
give her any help she may need from you, for she has been a great help
to many people, including me." Romans 16:1-2
"Jesus
called them together and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles
lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them.Not
so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your
servant, and whoever wants to be first must be your slave-- 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." Matthew 20:25-28
