Luke 14:10-12

Christian Standard Bible

¹⁰ “But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when the one who invited you comes, he will say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ You will then be honored^(A) in the presence of all the other guests.^{(B) 11} For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”^(C)

¹² He also said to the one who had invited him, “When you give a lunch or a dinner, don’t invite your friends, your brothers or sisters, your relatives, or your rich neighbors, because they might invite you back, and you would be repaid.
