The greatest among you will be your servant. —Matthew 23:11 NIV


Being Different

Beloved, I implore you as aliens and strangers [in this world] to abstain from the sensual urges (the evil desires, the passions of the flesh, your lower nature) that wage war against the soul. —1 Peter 2:11 AMP

All these people kept on trusting until they died, without receiving what had been promised…While acknowledging that they were aliens and temporary residents on the earth. —Hebrews 11:13 CJB

For we are aliens and temporary residents in your presence as were all our ancestors. —1 Chronicles 29:15

Being Different

You have had enough in the past of the ecil things that godless people enjoy - their immorality and lust, their feasting and drunkenness and wild parties, and their terrible worship of idols. Of course, your former friends are surprised when you no longer plunge into the flood of wild and destructive things they do. So they slander you. —1 Peter 3:3-4

Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace: whoever speaks, as one who speaks oracles of God; whoever serves, as one who serves by the strength that God supplies - in order that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ. To him belong glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. —1 Peter 4:8-11


Show hospitality to one another without grumbling.

We are foreigners and strangers in your sight, as were all our ancestors. Our days on earth are like a shadow, without hope. —1 Chronicles 29:15
