¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For ^(A)everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

²⁶ thus says the Lord God: Remove the turban and take off the crown. Things shall not remain as they are. ^(A)Exalt that which is low, and bring low that which is exalted.

^4 (A)Whoever humbles himself like this child is the ^(B)greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

⁶ But ^(A)he gives more grace. Therefore it says, ^(B)“God opposes the proud but ^(C)gives grace to the humble.”

^10 (A)Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

⁵ Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^(A)Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^(B)“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

^6 (C)Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,
