6 who, though he existed in the form of God,
did not regard equality with God
as something to be grasped,(C)
7 but emptied himself,
taking the form of a slave,
assuming human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a human,(D)
8 he humbled himself
and became obedient to the point of death—
even death on a cross.(E)

4 got up from supper, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself.(A) 5 Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples’ feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. 6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” 7 Jesus answered, “You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand.” 8 Peter said to him, “You will never wash my feet.” Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no share with me.”(B) 9 Simon Peter said to him, “Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!” 10 Jesus said to him, “One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet,[a] but is entirely clean. And you[b] are clean, though not all of you.” 11 For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, “Not all of you are clean.”(C)
12 After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had reclined again, he said to them, “Do you know what I have done to you? 13 You call me Teacher and Lord, and you are right, for that is what I am.(D) 14 So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet.(E) 15 For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.(F) 16 Very truly, I tell you, slaves are not greater than their master, nor are messengers[c] greater than the one who sent them.(G) 17 If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.

Romans 5:15-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
15 But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died through the one man’s trespass, much more surely have the grace of God and the gift in the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, abounded for the many. 16 And the gift is not like the effect of the one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the gift following many trespasses brings justification. 17 If, because of the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive the abundance of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ.
18 Therefore just as one man’s trespass led to condemnation for all, so one man’s act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all. 19 For just as through the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous.
