Dict: easton - Humility

Humility @ a prominent Christian grace kjv@Romans:12:3 kjv@Romans:15:17-18; kjv@1Corinthians:3:5-7; kjv@2Corinthians:3:5; kjv@Philippians:4:11-13). It is a state of mind well pleasing to God ( kjv@1Peter:3:4); it preserves the soul in tranquillity kjv@Psalms:69:32-33), and makes us patient under trials kjv@Job:1:22). Christ has set us an example of humility kjv@Philippians:2:6-8). We should be led thereto by a remembrance of our sins kjv@Lamentations:3:39), and by the thought that it is the way to honour kjv@Proverbs:16:18), and that the greatest promises are made to the humble kjv@Psalms:147:6; kjv@Isaiah:57:15 kjv@Isaiah:66:2; kjv@1Peter:5:5). It is a "great paradox in Christianity that it makes humility the avenue to glory."
