6 But God helps you even more than that. That is why the holy writings say, God fights against those who are proud, but he helps those who are not proud.

10 Do not be proud before the Lord. Then he will lift you up.

9 A Christian brother who is poor should be glad: he is in a high place now he is a Christian.10 A Christian brother who is rich should be glad: he is in a low place now he is a Christian. A rich man will pass away like a flower on the grass.

5 Also, you who are younger men, obey your leaders. I say to all of you, do not be proud. Do not think you are better than the others. The holy writings say, God fights against proud people, but he helps those who are not proud.6 You are under Gods power. Do not be proud, so that at the right time he may put you into a higher place.7 Turn all your troubles over to him, because he cares for you and is watching over you.

11 Everyone who puts himself up in a high place will be brought down to a low place. And everyone who puts himself down in a low place will be brought up to a high place.

3 Do not try to prove you are better than others. Do not be proud of yourselves, but be humble. Think of other people as being better than yourselves.4 Each one of you should not think only about himself, but about other people also.5 Think the same way Jesus Christ thought.

16 Nothing in the world comes from the Father. I mean the wrong things people like to do with their bodies. I mean the things people see and want to have. I mean all the things people are proud of in this life. These things come from the world, not the Father.

12 Therefore, when a person thinks, I am strong; I can stand, let that person be careful, or he will fall.

3 If I give away all I have, and if I give my body to be burned, but if I do not love people, I get nothing out of it.

28 And God chose the small things, things that people despise. Yes, he chose even the things which seem to be nothing. He did this to destroy the big things.29 He did this so that people would not be proud before God.

17 The holy writings say that the person who is proud should be proud only of the Lord.18 A man who praises himself is not a man who is good. The man who is really good is the man whom the Lord praises.

20 But he said, What comes out of a person makes him dirty. 21,21 Here is what comes from the heart: wrong thoughts, all kinds of adultery, stealing, killing, wanting things that other people have, doing very wrong things, fooling people, breaking the law, jealousy, saying wrong things about people, being proud, being foolish.22 All these wrong things come from a persons heart and make him dirty.23 Then Jesus went away to the country of Tyre and Sidon. He went into a house and did not want anyone to know he was there. But he could not hide from the people.

17 Tell the rich people in this world not to be proud. Tell them to trust in God not in short-lived riches. He gives us richly all things to make us happy.

16 Agree with one another. Do not be proud, but be friends with anybody. Do not think you are wiser than you are.

22 But these are the things which the Spirit wants you to show: love, joy, peace, patience, being kind, being good, being true, being gentle, and keeping the body under control. There is no law that says, These things are wrong.23 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have stopped doing the wrong things they want to do. They have stopped them just as if they were killed on a cross. And they have even stopped wanting to do them.
