BUT among you it will be different (Mark 10:43)

But among you it will be different.

Whoever wants to be a leader among you must be your servant. 

 Mark 10:43
Jesus ultimately had the best leadership style. Serve others and they will follow you.

BUT... also for those who believe in ME (John 17:20-21)

I pray not only for these,

BUT…also for those who believe in Me through their message.

May they all be one, as You, Father, are in Me and I am in You.

May they also be one in Us, so the world may believe You sent Me

John 17:20-21

This was Jesus pray to the Father. He prayed for you and me and others who believe through the message we share.  The number one way others will believe is by watching how well we get along. When I taught children I told them to have JOY you need to put

Jesus first

Others next

Yourself last.

BUT... favors the prayers (Proverbs 15:8)

The Lord

Detests the Sacrifices of the wicked…

 

But

Favors the prayers of those who do right.

Proverbs 15:8  CEB

 As our children were growing up and being able to go places on their own we would tell them to “DO RIGHT” we told them there wasn't a list that they could remember of the do’s and don’ts because inevitably we would forget the one trouble they may find.
So it was just better for them to learn to “JUST DO RIGHT”
