Luke 14:9-11

Modern English Version

⁹ and he who invited you both will come and say to you, ‘Give this man the seat,’ and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest seat. ¹⁰ But when you are invited, go and sit down in the lowest seat, so that when he who invited you comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have respect in the presence of those who sit at dinner with you. ¹¹ For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
