A man’s pride brings him low, but one of lowly spirit gains honor.

But be doers of the word, and not only hearers, deluding your own selves.

What then? Are we better than they? No, in no way. For we previously warned both Jews and Greeks that they are all under sin.

If you know these things, blessed are you if you do them.

Therefore as sin entered into the world through one man, and death through sin; so death passed to all men, because all sinned.

And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted.”
