You, my brothers, were called to be free. But do
not use your freedom to indulge the sinful
nature rather, serve one another in
love. Galatians 513-15
7
If you have any encouragement from being united
with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if
any fellowship with the Spirit, if any
tenderness and compassion, then make my joy
complete by being like-minded, having the same
love, being one in spirit and purpose.
8
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain
conceit, but in humility consider others
better than yourselves. Each of you should
look not only to your own interests, but
also to the interests of others. Your attitude
should be the same as that of Christ Jesus.
Philippians 21-5

Each one should use whatever gift he has received

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 2025-28

"Then the righteous will answer him, 'Lord, when
did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty
and give you something to drink? When did we see
you a stranger and invite you in, or needing
clothes and clothe you? When did we see you sick
or in prison and go to visit you?' "The King
will reply, 'I tell you the truth, whatever you
did for one of the least of these brothers of
mine, you did for me. Matthew 2537-40
