Daily Scripture Humility: Part 3

Let him who boasts, boast in the Lord.  (1 Corinthians 1:31)

Who makes me different from anyone else?  And what do I have that I did not receive?  And if I did receive it, why I should I boast as though I had not received it?  (1 Corinthians 4:7)

Let him who thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.  (1 Corinthians 10:12)

I do not dare to classify or compare myself with other people, for it is unwise to measure or compare myself with others.  I will not boast beyond proper limits but within the sphere of the gospel of Christ.  “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”  For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.  (2 Corinthians 10:12-14, 17-18) 

If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.  (Galatians 6:3)

I want to walk in a way that is worthy of the calling with which I was called, with all humility and meekness and patience.  (Ephesians 4:1-2)

I should let my gentleness be evident to all men; the Lord is near.  (Philippians 4:5)

The brother in humble circumstances should glory in his high position, and the one who is rich should glory in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a flower of the field.  (James 1:9-10)

I will submit myself to God and resist the devil, and he will flee from me.  I will humble myself before the Lord, and He will exalt me.  (James 4:7, 10)

I should not say, “Today or tomorrow I will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business, and make a profit.”  For I do not even know what my life will be tomorrow.  I am a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.  Instead, I ought to say, “If the Lord wills, I will live and do this or that.”  Otherwise, I boast in my arrogance, and all such boasting is evil.  (James 4:13-16)

I will humble myself under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt me in due time, casting all my anxiety upon Him, because He cares for me.  (1 Peter 5:6-7)
