shame to take the lowest room. {10} But when thou art bidden,

cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt
thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with
thee.

themselves. {4} Look not every man on his own things, but every
man also on the things of others. {5} Let this mind be in you,
which was also in Christ Jesus: {6} Who, being in the form of
God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: {7} But made
himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a
servant, and was made in the likeness of men: {8} And being
found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became
obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. {9} Wherefore
God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is
above every name: {10} That at the name of Jesus every knee
should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and
things under the earth; {11} And that every tongue should
confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the
Father.

trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers
of those that are good, {4} Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers
of pleasures more than lovers of God;
