But it shall not be so among you: but whosoever will be great among you, let him be your minister;

But {G1161} it shall {G2071} not {G3756} be {G2071} so {G3779} among {G1722} you {G5213}: but {G235} whosoever {G3739}{G1437} will {G2309} be {G1096} great {G3173} among {G1722} you {G5213}, let him be {G2077} your {G5216} minister {G1249};

Among you, it must not be like that. On the contrary, whoever among you wants to be a leader must become your servant,

It shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant,

Not so shall it be among you: but whosoever would become great among you shall be your minister;
