Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and with many tears, and temptations, which befell me by the lying in wait of the Jews:

With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Which things have indeed a shew of wisdom in will worship, and humility, and neglecting of the body; not in any honour to the satisfying of the flesh.

Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, bowels of mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering;

Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
