^28 (A)just as the ^(B)Son of Man did not come to be served, ^(C)but to serve, and ^(D)to give His life a ransom ^(E)for many.”

²⁸ so ^(A)Christ was ^(B)offered once to bear the sins ^(C)of many. To those who ^(D)eagerly wait for Him He will appear a second time, apart from sin, for salvation.

^27 (A)For who is greater, he who sits at the table, or he who serves? Is it not he who sits at the table? Yet ^(B)I am among you as the One who serves.

^14 (A)who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed ^(B)and purify for Himself ^(C)His own special people, zealous for good works.

Christ’s Suffering and Ours

¹⁸ For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring ^[a]us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit,

^6 (A)who gave Himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time,

^4 (A)Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of ^(B)others.

The Humbled and Exalted Christ

^5 (C)Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus, ⁶ who, ^(D)being in the form of God, did not consider it ^[a]robbery to be equal with God, ^7 (E)but ^[b]made Himself of no reputation, taking the form ^(F)of a bondservant, and ^(G)coming in the likeness of men. ⁸ And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and ^(H)became ^(I)obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.

⁵ and from Jesus Christ, ^(A)the faithful ^(B)witness, the ^(C)firstborn from the dead, and ^(D)the ruler over the kings of the earth.

To Him ^(E)who ^[a]loved us ^(F)and washed us from our sins in His own blood,

⁹ For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, ^(A)that though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become ^(B)rich.
