            a  Luke 14:8-11 (…But when you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest
            place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up
            higher’; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table
            with you. For all who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who
            humble themselves will be exalted.”)

            b  1 Samuel 2:7-8 (The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low, he
            also exalts. He raises up the poor from the dust; he lifts the needy from the
            ash heap, to make them sit with princes and inherit a seat of honor. For the
            pillars of the earth are the Lord's, and on them he has set the world.)
            Proverbs 13:7, 2 Corinthians 8:9

            c  James 2:1-5 (My brothers and sisters, do you with your acts of favoritism
            really believe in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ? For if a person with gold
            rings and in fine clothes comes into your assembly, and if a poor person in
            dirty clothes also comes in, and if you take notice of the one wearing the
            fine clothes and say, “Have a seat here, please,” while to the one who is
            poor you say, “Stand there,” or, “Sit at my feet,” have you not made
            distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil thoughts? …)
            Proverbs 22:16, Proverbs 28:27

            d  John 14:10-12 (Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father
            is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the
            Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father
            and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the
            works themselves...)

            e  John 8:54-55 (Jesus answered, “If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing. It is
            my Father who glorifies me, he of whom you say, ‘He is our God,’ though
            you do not know him. But I know him; if I would say that I do not know him I
            would be a liar like you. But I do know him and I keep his word.)
