But Jesus called them to Himself and said, “You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and those who are great exercise authority over them.
Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you, let him be your servant.
And whoever desires to be first among you, let him be your slave—
just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.”

Fear not, O land;
Be glad and rejoice,
For the LORD has done marvelous things!

Than to put confidence in man.
Hebrews 2:1-4
Therefore we must give the more earnest heed to the things we have heard, lest we drift away.
For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and every transgression and disobedience received a just reward,
how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
God also bearing witness both with signs and wonders, with various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit, according to His own will?

And be gracious to you;
The LORD lift up His countenance upon you,
And give you peace.
Romans 10:10-12
For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.

O LORD, be gracious to us;
We have waited for You.
Be their arm every morning,
Our salvation also in the time of trouble.

And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church,
which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all.
