TRANSLATION OF JOHN 17:6-11 FROM THE ORIGINAL LANGUAGE (GREEK)
6I have manifested your name to the men whom you have given me out of the world. They were yours and you have given them to me and they have kept your word. 7Now they have known that all the things you have given to me are from you, 8because the sayings that you have given to me, I have given to them and they received them and truly knew that I came from you, and they believed that you sent me. 9I am requesting about them, I am not requesting about the world but those you have given me, because they are yours, 10and all of mine is yours and yours is mine, and I have been glorified in them. 11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, in order that they may be one just as we are one.

Yes there is a way to balance worshiping God with serving our neighbour.
In Luke Chapter 10 and at verse 25, we read of a religious lawyer coming up to Jesus - with a question - and it just happens to be one of the most important questions a man can ask - “Teacher - what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
But, this religious man with his keen legal mind proves to be most insincere. Oh, he comes with this right question - to the right person - but look at his motive. He comes to tempt Jesus - to test Jesus - seeking to trap Jesus. Do check the text. That is always so important.
