A Charge to Selfless Servanthood

For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.  And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same ...  But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.  Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
Luke 6:32-36

For though I be free, from all men, yet have I made myself servant unto all, that I might gain the more.
1 Corinthians 9:19

For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
Mark 10:45

And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.  As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
Galatians 6:9-10
