Luke 14:9
King James Version
Translation: KJV
7And he put forth a parable to those which were bidden, when he marked how they chose out the chief rooms; saying unto them,Select Luke 14:7
8When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;Select Luke 14:8
9And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.Select Luke 14:9
10But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee 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.Select Luke 14:10
11For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.Select Luke 14:11
