Proverbs 11:2, Proverbs 16:18, Proverbs 11:2, Proverbs 16:18, Proverbs 3:35

10But when you are invited, go, sit down in the lowest place, so that, when he who invited you arrives, he may say to you, ‘Friend, go up higher.’ Then you will have glory in the sight of those who sit at table together with you.

stylus

stylus

Luke 14:13, Luke 14:13, Matthew 11:5, James 2:5, Matthew 11:5
