The Admonitions - IV Let No One Make Being Over Others His Own

I did not come to be served, but serve, says the Lord.

Let those who are placed over others boast about that position as much as they would if they were assigned the duty of washing the feet of their brothers. And if they are more upset at having their place over others taken away from them than at losing their position at their feet, the more they store up a money bag to the peril of their soul.
