being humble

⁶And so, be humbled under the powerful hand of God, so that he may exalt you in the time of visitation.

⁶But he gives a greater grace. Therefore he says: “God resists the arrogant, but he gives grace to the humble.”

¹⁴and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.

¹⁰Be humbled in the sight of the Lord, and he will exalt you.

²Wherever arrogance may be, there too is insult. But wherever humility is, there too is wisdom.

⁸I will reveal to you, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requires from you, and how to act with judgment, and to love mercy, and to walk carefully with your God.

⁵Similarly, young persons, be subject to the elders. And infuse all humility among one another, for God resists the arrogant, but to the humble he gives grace.

¹²But whoever has exalted himself, shall be humbled. And whoever has humbled himself, shall be exalted.

³Let nothing be done by contention, nor in vain glory. Instead, in humility, let each of you esteem others to be better than himself. ⁴Let each of you not consider anything to be your own, but rather to belong to others. ⁵For this understanding in you was also in Christ Jesus: ⁶who, though he was in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be seized. ⁷Instead, he emptied himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in the likeness of men, and accepting the state of a man. ⁸He humbled himself, becoming obedient even unto death, even the death of the Cross.

²with all humility and meekness, with patience, supporting one another in charity.

⁴The end of moderation is the fear of the Lord, riches and glory and life.
