In the same way, I’m speaking to you who are younger. Follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit free of pride toward one another. Put it on as if it were your clothes. Do this because Scripture says,“ God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)

From six troubles he will save you. Even if you are in trouble seven times, no harm will come to you.When there isn’t enough food, God will keep you from dying. When you go into battle, he won’t let a sword strike you down.He will keep you safe from words that can hurt you. You won’t need to be afraid when everything is being destroyed.You will laugh when things are being destroyed. You will enjoy life even when there isn’t enough food. You won’t be afraid of wild animals.You will make a covenant with the stones in the fields. They won’t keep your crops from growing. Even wild animals will be at peace with you.You will know that the tent you live in is secure. You will check out your property. You will see that nothing is missing.You can be sure you will have a lot of children. They will be as many as the blades of grass on the earth.You will go down to the grave while you are still very strong. You will be like a crop that is gathered at the right time.“ We have carefully studied all these things. And they are true. So pay attention to them. Apply them to yourself.”

The other was a tax collector.The Pharisee stood by himself and prayed.‘ God, I thank you that I am not like other people,’ he said.‘ I am not like robbers or those who do other evil things. I am not like those who commit adultery. I am not even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week. And I give a tenth of all I get.’“ But the tax collector stood farther away than the Pharisee. He would not even look up to heaven. He brought his hand to his heart and prayed. He said,‘ God, have mercy on me. I am a sinner.’“ I tell you, the tax collector went home accepted by God. But not the Pharisee. All those who lift themselves up will be made humble. And those who make themselves humble will be lifted up.”
