Then suddenly there appeared with the angel a throng of the heavenly host, praising God and saying:

"Glory to God in highest heaven! And peace on earth to men who please him."

so that your host may not come and say to you, 'Make room for this man'; and then in embarrassment you will proceed to take and keep the lowest place.

But when you are invited anywhere, go and take the lowest place, so that when your host comes in, he may say to you, 'My friend, come up to a better place.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all your fellow-guests.
