Following are five verses related to the topics addressed in Matthew 20:

Romans 2:11: "For to God there is no sense of people." This verse emphasizes the same principle taught in the parable of workers in the vineyard, that God is fair and treats everyone equally, regardless of their social circumstances or positions.

Luke 22:26: "But it will not be among you; on the contrary, the greatest among you is as the minor; and who rules as if it serves." This verse talks about the nature of the kingdom of heaven, which is characterized by humility and service, unlike the search for prominent positions.

Mark 10:45: "For the Son of man has not come to be served either, but to serve and give his life in rescue by many." This verse highlights the example of Christ, which came to serve, not to be served, and shows how this attitude must be followed by his followers.

1 Corinthians 12:12-13: "For, just as the body is one and has many members, and all members of the body, though many, constitute one body, so is Christ. For in one spirit we were all baptized In a body, whether Jews or Greeks or slaves or free; and all of us have been given drinking from one spirit. " This verse talks about the unity of the body of Christ, in which all members are important and must work together in harmony, without competing with each other.
