Humility

(Mt 20:26–28; Phil 2:3–8)

17 My child, perform your tasks with humility;c

then you will be loved by those whom God accepts.

18 The greater you are, the more you must humble yourself;

so you will find favor in the sight of the Lord.d

20 For great is the might of the Lord;

but by the humble he is glorified.

28 When calamity befalls the proud, there is no healing,

for an evil plant has taken root in him.

29 The mind of the intelligent appreciates proverbs,

and an attentive ear is the desire of the wise.
