12 Bible Verses about Being A Leader

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves.

And as you wish that men would do to you, do so to them.

Yet it shall not be so among you; but whoever desires to become great among you must be your servant.

He must increase, but I must decrease.

Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth.

But not so among you; on the contrary, he who is greatest among you, let him be as the youngest, and he who leads as one who serves.

Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Obey your leaders and submit to them; for they are keeping watch over your souls, as men who will have to give account. Let them do this with joy, and not with grief, for that would be of no advantage to you.

(If a man does not know how to manage his own household, how can he take care of God's church?).

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one bodywhether Jews or Greeks, slaves or freeand we were all made to drink of one Spirit. For the body is not made up of one member but of many.read more.
If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," it would not for that reason be any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But now God has arranged the members in the body, each one of them, just as he desired. If they were all one member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, but one body. And the eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we treat with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, while our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the parts that lacked it, so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it. Now you are the body of Christ, and individually members of it. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then workers of miracles, then those having gifts of healings, helps, administrations, and those speaking in various kinds of tongues. Are all apostles? Are all prophets? Are all teachers? Do all work miracles? Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak with tongues? Do all interpret? But earnestly desire the greater gifts. And I will show you a still more excellent way.

For by the grace given to me I say to every one among you not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think with sober judgment, each according to the measure of faith which God has assigned him. For as in one body we have many members, and all the members do not have the same function, so we, though many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.read more.
Having gifts that differ according to the grace given to us, let us use them: if prophecy, in proportion to our faith; if service, let us use it in our serving; he who teaches, in his teaching; he who exhorts, in exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who does acts of mercy, with cheerfulness.

holding a form of godliness but denying its power. Avoid such people.
