Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / parallelism

ὃς ἂν θέλῃ μέγας γενέσθαι ἐν ὑμῖν, ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος & καὶ ὃς ἂν θέλῃ ἐν ὑμῖν εἶναι πρῶτος, ἔσται πάντων δοῦλος

whoever ¬wishfully /may_be/_wanting great /to/_become among you_all will_be ˱of˲_you_all servant & (Some words not found in SR-GNT: οὐχ οὕτως δέ ἐστιν ἐν ὑμῖν ἀλλʼ ὃς ἂν θέλῃ μέγας γενέσθαι ἐν ὑμῖν ἔσται ὑμῶν διάκονος)

These two sentences mean basically the same thing. The second emphasizes the meaning of the first by repeating the same idea with different words. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could connect the sentences with a word other than and in order to show that the second sentence is repeating the first one, not saying something additional. Alternatively, you could combine the two sentences Alternate translation: “whoever desires to become great among you will be your servant; indeed, whoever desires to be first among you will be your slave” or “whoever desires to become first or great among will you be your servant or slave”

μέγας γενέσθαι

great /to/_become

Alternate translation: “to be highly respected” or “to be greatly respected”
