Believers in humble circumstances ought to take pride in their high position.

Here’s what believers who are in low positions in life should be proud of. They should be proud that God has given them a high position in the kingdom.

Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation,

Believers who are poor have something to boast about, for God has honored them.

Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

Let the lowly brother glory in his exaltation,

But let the brother of low degree glory in his high estate:

The brother of humble circumstances should boast in his exaltation,

Let the brother of low degree rejoice in that he is exalted:

Now the believer of humble means should take pride in his high position.

But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

“‘ This is what the LORD says: The wise person should not boast in his wisdom; the strong should not boast in his strength; the wealthy should not boast in his wealth.But the one who boasts should boast in this: that he understands and knows me— that I am the LORD, showing faithful love, justice, and righteousness on the earth, for I delight in these things. This is the LORD’s declaration.

Listen, my dear brothers and sisters: Didn’t God choose the poor in this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom that he has promised to those who love him?Yet you have dishonored the poor. Don’t the rich oppress you and drag you into court?

as grieving, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet enriching many; as having nothing, yet possessing everything.

Common people are only a vapor; important people, an illusion. Together on a scale, they weigh less than a vapor.

he has toppled the mighty from their thrones and exalted the lowly.

Better a poor person who lives with integrity than someone who has deceitful lips and is a fool.

I know your affliction and poverty, but you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

For there will never cease to be poor people in the land; that is why I am commanding you,‘ Open your hand willingly to your poor and needy brother in your land.’

The one who mocks the poor insults his Maker, and one who rejoices over calamity will not go unpunished.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the trash heapin order to seat them with nobles— with the nobles of his people.

But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his possession, so that you may proclaim the praises of the one who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

Be careful that there isn’t this wicked thought in your heart,‘ The seventh year, the year of canceling debts, is near,’ and you are stingy toward your poor brother and give him nothing. He will cry out to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty.

“ If there is a poor person among you, one of your brothers within any of your city gates in the land the LORD your God is giving you, do not be hardhearted or tightfisted toward your poor brother.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the trash heap. He seats them with noblemen and gives them a throne of honor. For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s; he has set the world on them.

I pursue as my goal the prize promised by God’s heavenly call in Christ Jesus.

We have also obtained access through him by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.And not only that, but we also boast in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance,

and if children, also heirs— heirs of God and coheirs with Christ— if indeed we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.

He told them,“ Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me. And whoever welcomes me welcomes him who sent me. For whoever is least among you— this one is great.”

For we are the circumcision, the ones who worship by the Spirit of God, boast in Christ Jesus, and do not put confidence in the flesh—

And they sang a new song: You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slaughtered, and you purchased people for God by your blood from every tribe and language and people and nation.You made them a kingdom and priests to our God, and they will reign on the earth.

However, don’t rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.”

After this I looked, and there was a vast multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language, which no one could number, standing before the throne and before the Lamb. They were clothed in white robes with palm branches in their hands.And they cried out in a loud voice: Salvation belongs to our God, who is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!
