Humility

who is humble of spirit obtains honor. (Proverbs 29:23)
Have the same regard for one another; do
not be haughty but associate with the lowly;
do not be wise in your own estimation. (Romans 12:16)

but the mighty shall be mightily put to the
test. (Wisdom 6:6)
Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty
hand of God, that in due time he may exalt
you. (1 Peter 5:6)
Do nothing out of selfishness or out of vainglory;
rather, humbly regard others as more important
than yourselves. (Phillipians 2:3)
My son, with humility have self-esteem; prize
yourself as you deserve. Who will acquit
him who condemns himself? (Sirach 10:27-28)
Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility
toward one another, for God opposes the proud,
but gives grace to the humble. (1 Peter 5:5)
Good and upright is the Lord, who shows sinners
the way, guides the humble rightly, and teaches
the humble the way. (Psalm 25:8-9)
The lowly will ever find joy in the Lord.
(Isaiah 29:19)
The prayer of the lowly pierces the clouds;
it does not rest till it reaches its goal.
(Sirach 35:17)
Give ear, listen humbly, for the Lord speaks. (Jeremiah 13:15)
"Take my yoke upon you and learn from
me, for I am meek and humble of heart; and
you will find rest for yourselves."
(Matthew 11:29)
"When you have done all that is commanded
you, say, 'We are unworthy servants; we have
only done what was our duty.'" (Luke 17:10)
Humbly welcome the word that has been planted
in you and is able to save your souls. (James 1:21)
