Luke 14:10-12

Living Bible

¹⁰ “Do this instead—start at the foot; and when your host sees you he will come and say, ‘Friend, we have a better place than this for you!’ Thus you will be honored in front of all the other guests. ¹¹ For everyone who tries to honor himself shall be humbled; and he who humbles himself shall be honored.” ¹² Then he turned to his host. “When you put on a dinner,” he said, “don’t invite friends, brothers, relatives, and rich neighbors! For they will return the invitation.
