"Happy are those who know they are spiritually poor; the Kingdom of heaven belongs to them!

The greatest in the Kingdom of heaven is the one who humbles himself and becomes like this child.

God brings down the proud and saves the humble.

Even though you are so high above, you care for the lowly, and the proud cannot hide from you.

Reverence for the LORD is an education in itself. You must be humble before you can ever receive honors.

Pride leads to destruction, and arrogance to downfall.

It is better to be humble and stay poor than to be one of the arrogant and get a share of their loot.

Arrogance will bring your downfall, but if you are humble, you will be respected.

"I am the high and holy God, who lives forever. I live in a high and holy place, but I also live with people who are humble and repentant, so that I can restore their confidence and hope.

"And now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, honor, and glorify the King of Heaven. Everything he does is right and just, and he can humble anyone who acts proudly."

He has stretched out his mighty arm and scattered the proud with all their plans.

He has brought down mighty kings from their thrones, and lifted up the lowly.

For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great."

I tell you," said Jesus, "the tax collector, and not the Pharisee, was in the right with God when he went home. For those who make themselves great will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be made great."

But the grace that God gives is even stronger. As the scripture says, "God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble."

In the same way you younger people must submit yourselves to your elders. And all of you must put on the apron of humility, to serve one another; for the scripture says, "God resists the proud, but shows favor to the humble."
