humble

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

⁹He will direct the mild in judgment. He will teach the meek his ways.

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

⁸For by grace, you have been saved through faith. And this is not of yourselves, for it is a gift of God. ⁹And this is not of works, so that no one may glory.

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.

⁸“When you are invited to a wedding, do not sit down in the first place, lest perhaps someone more honored than yourself may have been invited by him. ⁹And then he who called both you and him, approaching, may say to you, ‘Give this place to him.’ And then you would begin, with shame, to take the last place. ¹⁰But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you. ¹¹For everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted.”

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.

¹⁸Arrogance precedes destruction. And the spirit is exalted before a fall. ¹⁹It is better to be humbled with the meek, than to divide spoils with the arrogant.

¹⁰loving one another with fraternal charity, surpassing one another in honor:

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

¹²Therefore, clothe yourselves like the elect of God: holy and beloved, with hearts of mercy, kindness, humility, modesty, and patience.
