Humble
yourselves before the Lord, and
he will lift you up. (James
4:10)
This
is the one I esteem: He who is
humble and contrite in spirit,
and trembles at my word. (Isaiah
66:2)
For
everyone who exalts himself will
be humbled, and he who humbles
himself will be exalted.
(Luke 14:11)
He
chose the lowly things of this
world and the despised things -
and the things that are not - to
nullify the things that are, so
that no one may boast before
him. (I Corinthians 1:28-29)
So
neither he who plants nor he who
waters is anything, but only
God, who makes things grow. (1
Corinthians 3:7)
Do
nothing out of selfish ambition
or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than
yourselves. (Philippians 2:3)
Honor
one another above yourselves.
(Romans 12:10)
All
of you, clothe yourselves with
humility toward one another,
because, "God opposes the
proud, but gives grace to the
humble." (1
Peter 5:5)
For
we do not preach ourselves, but
Jesus Christ as Lord, and
ourselves as your servants for
Jesus' sake. (2 Corinthians 4:5)
So
you also, when you have done
everything you were told to do,
should say, "We are
unworthy servants; we have only
done our duty."
(Luke 17:10)
Your
attitude should be the same as
that of Christ Jesus: Who, being
in very nature God, did not
consider equality with God
something to be grasped, but
made himself nothing, taking the
very nature of a servant, being
made in human likeness.
(Philippians 2:5-7)
Humility
and fear of the LORD bring
wealth and honor and life.
(Proverbs 22:4)
You
save the humble but bring low
those whose eyes are haughty.
(Psalm 18:27)
But
the meek will inherit the land
and enjoy great peace. (Psalm
37:11)
