“For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.”
For what we preach is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus' sake — Paul establishes the apostle's self-effacement. The gospel is not about the preacher; it is about Christ as kyrios (Lord, the supreme authority). Apostles are servants (douloi) in this proclamation.
