Everyone who exalts himself shall be humbled, and he who humbles himself shall be exalted. (Luke 14:11). For God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

If we confess our sins, He is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9).
