3 Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 For you should have the same mindset as Christ Jesus: 6 Who, being in the form of God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped; 7 but emptied Himself, taking the form of a servant, being made in human likeness and appearing as a man; 8 He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death—even death on a cross.
James 4:6–10
6 But He gives greater grace; therefore it says: God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. 7 Therefore submit to God; resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you; cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn, and weep; let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to sorrow. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
1 Peter 5:5–6
5 Likewise, you who are younger, submit to the elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble. 6 Therefore humble yourselves under God’s mighty hand, that He may exalt you in due time.
