19 serving the Lord with all humility and with ^etears and with trials that happened to me through the ^fplots of the Jews;

3 Do nothing from ^vselfish ambition or ^wconceit, ^xbut in ^yhumility count others more significant than yourselves.

12 ^zPut on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, ^acompassionate hearts, ^bkindness, ^chumility, ^dmeekness, and ^epatience,

Suffering for Righteousness’ Sake

8 Finally, all of you, have ^wunity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a ^xtender heart, and a ^yhumble mind.

5 Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. ^gClothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for ^h“God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

18 Let no one ^udisqualify you, insisting on asceticism and worship of angels, going on in detail about visions,^{1 v}puffed up ^wwithout reason by his sensuous mind,

23 These have indeed an appearance of wisdom in promoting self-made religion and asceticism and severity to the body, but they are of no value in ^cstopping the indulgence of the flesh.
