And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.p>

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but<n id="1" /> the one who humbles<n id="2" /> himself will be exalted.&#8221;p>

Humble yourselves before the Lord and he will exalt you.p>

<p class="poetry">He humbled himself,p> <p class="poetry">by becoming obedient to the point of deathp> <p class="poetry">&#8211; even death on a cross!p>

And God will exalt you in due time,<n id="1" /> if you humble yourselves under his mighty hand<n id="2" />

I tell you that this man went down to his home justified<n id="1" /> rather than the Pharisee.<n id="2" /> For everyone who exalts<n id="3" /> himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted.&#8221;p>

Or did I commit a sin by humbling myself<n id="1" /> so that you could be exalted, because I proclaimed<n id="2" /> the gospel of God to you free of charge?

Whoever then humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

<p class="otpoetry"><i><b>Every valley will be filled,b>i><n id="1" />p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and every mountain and hill will be brought low,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and the crooked will be made straight,i>b>p> <p class="otpoetry"><b><i>and the rough ways will be made smooth,i>b>p>

I have experienced times of need and times of abundance. In any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of contentment,<n id="1" /> whether I go satisfied or hungry, have plenty or nothing.

I am afraid that<n id="1" /> when I come again, my God may humiliate me before you, and I will grieve for<n id="2" /> many of those who previously sinned and have not repented of the impurity, sexual immorality, and licentiousness that they have practiced.p>
