Unselfishness: Nehemiah
Source: Nav
Nehemiah 5:14–18
Furthermore, from the day King Artaxerxes appointed me to be their governor in the land of Judah, from his twentieth year until his thirty-second year (twelve years total), neither I nor my brothers ate the food allotted to the governor. / The governors before me had heavily burdened the people, taking from them bread and wine plus forty shekels of silver. Their servants also oppressed the people, but I did not do this because of my fear of God. / Instead, I devoted myself to the construction of the wall, and all my servants were gathered there for the work; we did not acquire any land.
