Now the believer of humble means should take pride in his high position.

But the rich person's pride should be in his humiliation, because he will pass away like a wildflower in the meadow.

So too the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it has great pretensions. Think how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze.

For every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and sea creature is subdued and has been subdued by humankind.

But he gives greater grace. Therefore it says, "God opposes the proud, but he gives grace to the humble."
