25 Bible Verses About Humility (ESV)

4   The reward for humility and fear of the LORD
    is riches and honor and life.

12 Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience,

2   When pride comes, then comes disgrace,
    but with the humble is wisdom.

2 with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another in love,

10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will exalt you.

33   The fear of the LORD is instruction in wisdom,

8   He has told you, O man, what is good;
    and what does the LORD require of you
  but to do justice, and to love kindness,
    and to walk humbly with your God?

6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you,

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.

3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. 5 Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, 7 but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. 8 And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

13 Who is wise and understanding among you? By his good conduct let him show his works in the meekness of wisdom.

9   He leads the humble in what is right,
    and teaches the humble his way.

15   For thus says the One who is high and lifted up,
    who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
  “I dwell in the high and holy place,
    and also with him who is of a contrite and lowly spirit,
  to revive the spirit of the lowly,
    and to revive the heart of the contrite.

29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.

23   One’s pride will bring him low,
    but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.

16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight.

4   For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
    he adorns the humble with salvation.
