THE BIBLE

New International Version (NIV)

1 Peter 5:5

5 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because,

“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.”

Proverbs 11:2

2 When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
    but with humility comes wisdom.

Romans 12:3

3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you.

Psalm 25:9

9 He guides the humble in what is right
    and teaches them his way.

STEP 5

THE NEXT STEP in the journey

Ask Holy Spirit to search your heart for pride. If He reveals it to you, confess it as sin and share it with another.
