¹⁶ of the same mind one toward another, not minding the high things, but with the lowly going along; become not wise in your own conceit;

² Pride hath come, and shame cometh, And with the lowly `is' wisdom.

³ nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves --

⁴ each not to your own look ye, but each also to the things of others.

⁵ For, let this mind be in you that `is' also in Christ Jesus,

⁶ who, being in the form of God, thought `it' not robbery to be equal to God,

²⁵ The house of the proud Jehovah pulleth down, And He setteth up the border of the widow.

¹⁰ A vain man through pride causeth debate, And with the counselled `is' wisdom.

¹² Before destruction the heart of man is high, And before honour `is' humility.

¹⁶ because all that `is' in the world -- the desire of the flesh, and the desire of the eyes, and the ostentation of the life -- is not of the Father, but of the world,

¹⁷ and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast;

¹⁸ for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.

³⁷ `Now, I, Nebuchadnezzar, am praising and exalting and honouring the King of the heavens, for all His works `are' truth, and His paths judgment, and those walking in pride He is able to humble.'

¹³ The fear of Jehovah `is' to hate evil; Pride, and arrogance, and an evil way, And a froward mouth, I have hated.

¹² so that he who is thinking to stand -- let him observe, lest he fall.

¹¹ because every one who is exalting himself shall be humbled, and he who is humbling himself shall be exalted.'

⁵ An abomination to Jehovah `is' every proud one of heart, Hand to hand he is not acquitted.

²³ The pride of man humbleth him, And humility of spirit upholdeth honour.

³ and if I give away to feed others all my goods, and if I give up my body that I may be burned, and have not love, I am profited nothing.

²⁸ and the base things of the world, and the things despised did God choose, and the things that are not, that the things that are He may make useless --

²⁹ that no flesh may glory before Him;

³⁰ and of Him ye -- ye are in Christ Jesus, who became to us from God wisdom, righteousness also, and sanctification, and redemption,

²⁵ There is a way right before a man, And its latter end -- ways of death.

⁶ and greater grace he doth give, wherefore he saith, `God against proud ones doth set Himself up, and to lowly ones He doth give grace?'

² And all these My hand hath made, And all these things are, An affirmation of Jehovah! And unto this one I look attentively, Unto the humble and bruised in spirit, And who is trembling at My word.

⁹ And let the brother who is low rejoice in his exaltation,

¹⁰ and the rich in his becoming low, because as a flower of grass he shall pass away;

¹¹ for the sun did rise with the burning heat, and did wither the grass, and the flower of it fell, and the grace of its appearance did perish, so also the rich in his way shall fade away!

²² And the fruit of the Spirit is: Love, joy, peace, long-suffering, kindness, goodness, faith,

²³ meekness, temperance: against such there is no law;

²⁴ and those who are Christ's, the flesh did crucify with the affections, and the desires;

¹⁸ Before destruction `is' pride, And before stumbling -- a haughty spirit.'

²⁰ And he said -- `That which is coming out from the man, that doth defile the man;

²¹ for from within, out of the heart of men, the evil reasonings do come forth, adulteries, whoredoms, murders,

²² thefts, covetous desires, wickedness, deceit, arrogance, an evil eye, evil speaking, pride, foolishness;

²³ all these evils do come forth from within, and they defile the man.'

²⁴ And from thence having risen, he went away to the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and having entered into the house, he wished none to know, and he was not able to be hid,

¹¹ And the king of Israel answereth and saith, `Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing `his armour'.'

⁴ The end of humility `is' the fear of Jehovah, Riches, and honour, and life.

¹⁰ be made low before the Lord, and He shall exalt you.

⁵ In like manner, ye younger, be subject to elders, and all to one another subjecting yourselves; with humble-mindedness clothe yourselves, because God the proud doth resist, but to the humble He doth give grace;

⁶ be humbled, then, under the powerful hand of God, that you He may exalt in good time,

⁷ all your care having cast upon Him, because He careth for you.

⁸ Be sober, vigilant, because your opponent the devil, as a roaring lion, doth walk about, seeking whom he may swallow up,

¹⁷ Those rich in the present age charge thou not to be high-minded, nor to hope in the uncertainty of riches, but in the living God, who is giving to us all things richly for enjoyment; --
