Scripture Cards: Leaders

My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.

Remember them which have the rule over you, who have spoken unto you the word of God: whose faith follow, considering the end of their conversation.

But ye shall not be so: but he that is greatest among you, let him be as the younger; and he that is chief, as he that doth serve.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity.

Obey them that have the rule over you, and submit yourselves: for they watch for your souls, as they that must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you.

But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

But Jesus called them to him, and saith unto them, Ye know that they which are accounted to rule over the Gentiles exercise lordship over them; and their great ones exercise authority upon them. But so shall it not be among you: but whosoever will be great among you, shall be your minister: And whosoever of you will be the chiefest, shall be servant of all. For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.

Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for instruction, for conviction, for correction, and for training in righteousness, so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.

This Book of the Law must not depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in all you do.

Remember your leaders who spoke the word of God to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith.

But you shall not be like them. Instead, the greatest among you should be like the youngest, and the one who leads like the one who serves.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

Let no one despise your youth, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity.

Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they watch over your souls as those who must give an account. To this end, allow them to lead with joy and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Let us not grow weary in well-doing, for in due time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.

So Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. But it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be the slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”

In everything, then, do to others as you would have them do to you. For this is the essence of the Law and the Prophets.
