- If thou wilt:
- "And kingª Rehoboamª took counselª° with¹ the old² men¹ that¹ had¹ stoodª° beforeª Solomonª his fatherª while he yet lived,ª¹ saying,ª° Whatª counsel giveª° ye¹ [me] to returnª° answerª to this¹ people?ª ... And they spakeª° unto¹ him, saying,ª° If¹ thou be¹ kindª to this¹ people,ª and pleaseª° them, and speakª° goodª wordsª to¹ them, they will be¹ thy servantsª for ever.ª¹" {2Ch 10:6-7} + "A softª answerª turneth²° away¹ wrath:ª but grievousª wordsª stir upª° anger.ª" {Prv 15:1} + "Butª soª shall it²° notª beª° amongª you:ª butª whosoeverªª willª° beª° greatª amongª you,ª shall beª° yourª minister:ª ... Andª whosoeverªª of youª willª° beª° the chiefest,ª shall beª° servantª of all.ª" {Mrk 10:43-44} + "Butª made²° himself² of no reputation,ª°¹ and took¹ upon him²° the formª of a servant,ª and was madeª° inª the likenessª of men:ª ... Andª [that] everyª tongueª should confessª° thatª Jesusª Christª [is] Lord,ª toª the gloryª of Godª the Father.ª" {Php 2:7-11}
