The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise. |
|
| Proverbs 25:6-8
|
Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: |
| |
For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. |
| |
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame. |
|
| Proverbs 29:23
|
A man's pride shall bring him low: but honour shall uphold the humble in spirit. |
|
| Ecclesiastes 4:13
|
Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. |
|
| Isaiah 57:15
|
For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. |
|

|
He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God? |
|
| Matthew 18:1-4
|
At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? |
| |
And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, |
| |
And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. |
| |
Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. |
|
| Matthew 23:12
|
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted. |
|
| Luke 18:16-17 |
But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. |

Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall in no wise enter therein. |
|
| Romans 12:3

For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. |
|
| 1 Corinthians 10:12
|
Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall. |
|
| James 4:5-7
|
Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? |
| |
But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble. |
| |
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. |
