When they cast you down, and you say, ‘Exaltation will come!’
Then He will save the humble person.
Though the Lord is on high,
Yet He regards the lowly;
But the proud He knows from afar.
Surely He scorns the scornful,
But gives grace to the humble.
A man’s pride will bring him low,
But the humble in spirit will retain honor.
And whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.
He has put down the mighty from their thrones,
And exalted the lowly.
nor give place to the devil.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for
“God resists the proud,
But gives grace to the humble.”
Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world.
