All those who lift themselves up will be made humble. And those who make themselves humble will be lifted up.”

Jesus said to them,“ You try to make yourselves look good in the eyes of other people. But God knows your hearts. What people think is worth a lot is hated by God.

People who lift themselves up will be made humble. And people who make themselves humble will be lifted up.

Pride brings a person low. But those whose spirits are low will be honored.

Be humble in front of the Lord. And he will lift you up.

But God continues to give us more grace. That’s why Scripture says,“ God opposes those who are proud. But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)

Though the Lord is high above all, he cares for the lowly. Though he is in heaven above, he sees them on earth below.

He makes fun of proud people who make fun of others. But he gives grace to those who are humble and treated badly.

He has brought down rulers from their thrones. But he has lifted up people who are not considered important.

The God who is highly honored lives forever. His name is holy. He says,“ I live in a high and holy place. But I also live with anyone who turns away from their sins. I live with anyone who is not proud. I give new life to them. I give it to anyone who turns away from their sins.

So no one will be considered right with God by obeying the law. Instead, the law makes us more aware of our sin.

She said,“ May you be pleased with me.” Then she left and had something to eat. Her face wasn’t sad anymore.

Here is what we know. No one is made right with God by obeying the law. It is by believing in Jesus Christ. So we too have put our faith in Christ Jesus. This is so we can be made right with God by believing in Christ. We are not made right by obeying the law. That’s because no one can be made right with God by obeying the law.

Now I know that the Lord is greater than all other gods. See what he did to those who looked down on Israel.”

When people are brought low you will say,‘ Lift them up!’ Then God will help them.

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)So make yourselves humble. Put yourselves under God’s mighty hand. Then he will honor you at the right time.

Wisdom teaches you to have respect for the Lord. So don’t be proud if you want to be honored.

If a person’s heart is proud, they will be destroyed. So don’t be proud if you want to be honored.

We have been made right with God because of our faith. Now we have peace with him because of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But things are different with God. He makes ungodly people right with himself. If people trust in him, their faith is accepted even though they do not work. Their faith makes them right with God.

Even if I hadn’t sinned, what I said would prove me guilty. Even if I were honest, my words would show that I’m wrong.

But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he spoke to the man who could not walk.“ I tell you,” he said,“ get up. Take your mat and go home.”Right away, the man stood up in front of them. He took his mat and went home praising God.

But the man wanted to make himself look good. So he asked Jesus,“ And who is my neighbor?”

“ Blessed are those who are spiritually needy. The kingdom of heaven belongs to them.

How can human beings be right with God? How can mere people really be pure?

Who can bring any charge against God’s chosen ones? God makes us right with himself.

If you are proud, you will be destroyed. If you are proud, you will fall.Suppose you are lowly in spirit along with those who are treated badly. That’s better than sharing stolen goods with those who are proud.

Anyone who brags will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.The Lord who rules over all has set apart a day when he will judge. He has set it apart for all those who are proud and think they are important. He has set it apart for all those who brag about themselves. All of them will be brought low.The Lord has set that day apart for all the cedar trees in Lebanon. They are very tall. He has set that day apart for all the oak trees in Bashan.He has set it apart for all the towering mountains. He has set it apart for all the high hills.He has set it apart for every high tower and every strong wall.He has set it apart for every trading ship and every beautiful boat.Anyone who brags will be brought low. Anyone who is proud will be made humble. The Lord alone will be honored at that time.

Don’t take me to court and judge me, because in your eyes no living person does what is right.

Is your arm as powerful as mine is? Can your voice thunder as mine does?Then put on glory and beauty as if they were your clothes. Also put on honor and majesty.Let loose your great anger. Look at those who are proud and bring them low.Look at proud people and make them humble. Crush evil people right where they are.Bury their bodies together in the dust. Cover their faces in the grave.

But the Lord will save all the people of Israel. And so they will boast about the Lord.

Our father Abraham offered his son Isaac on the altar. Wasn’t he considered to be right with God because of what he did?So you see that what he believed and what he did were working together. What he did made his faith complete.That is what Scripture means where it says,“ Abraham believed God. God accepted Abraham because he believed. So his faith made him right with God.”( Genesis 15:6) And that’s not all. God called Abraham his friend.So you see that a person is considered right with God by what they do. It doesn’t happen only because they believe.Didn’t God consider even Rahab the prostitute to be right with him? That’s because of what she did for the spies. She gave them a place to stay. Then she sent them off in a different direction.

After he has suffered, he will see the light of life. And he will be satisfied. My godly servant will make many people godly because of what he will accomplish. He will be punished for their sins.

So I tell you this. Her many sins have been forgiven. She has shown that she understands this by her great acts of love. But whoever has been forgiven only a little loves only a little.”Then Jesus said to her,“ Your sins are forgiven.”The other guests began to talk about this among themselves. They said,“ Who is this who even forgives sins?”Jesus said to the woman,“ Your faith has saved you. Go in peace.”

Go and enjoy your food. Be joyful as you drink your wine. God has already approved what you do.
