1 Peter 3:8
3:8 To sum up, all of you be harmonious, sympathetic, brotherly, kindhearted, and humble in spirit; (NASB)

There are parallels in the Torah that emphasize the importance of being examples to others rather than lording over them. (1 Peter 3:8) Moses, the author of the Torah, is often seen as a model of servant leadership. He led the Israelites out of Egypt not by asserting power over them, but by guiding them and interceding for them with God. In Numbers 12:3, Moses is described as โ€œvery humble, more than any man who was on the face of the earth.โ€ In Deuteronomy 17:20, the Torah instructs a king not to consider himself better than his fellow Israelites or turn from Godโ€™s law to the right or left. This implies that a leader should not lord over the people but should instead serve as an example of adherence to Godโ€™s Torah. These examples demonstrate that the Torah, like 1 Peter 3:8, emphasizes the importance of leaders being examples to their followers rather than asserting dominance over them. The Torah has not passed away!
