Are you saying verses I posted are not in the bible or that they don't count because they don't match whatever belief you hold?
The proverb you quote is correct. However what I was pointing out was that Christ washed the feet of his disciples. He also said
“You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their superiors exercise authority over them. it shall not be this way among you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first among you must be your slave just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.”
Because, He said such things He was hated and was killed as a criminal. The most humiliating end. Yet this “Criminals” message lives on.
The call to humility is for all both men and women. The proverb must be taken in the cultural context of the time.
Finally two people who really love each other will only want to do things for each other, no tab is kept, but rather competing with each other in serving the one they love.
