Aitesseme said:God resists the proud and exalts and gives grace to the humble:
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1 Peter 5:6: Humbel yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.
