Matthew 23:12

12 and one who exalts himself shall be abased, while one who abases himself shall be exalted.

Matthew 23:12 In-Context

10 And do not accept the name of `leader,' for your Leader is one alone--the Christ.
11 He who is the greatest among you shall be your servant;
12 and one who exalts himself shall be abased, while one who abases himself shall be exalted.
13 "But alas for you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, for you lock the door of the Kingdom of the Heavens against men; you yourselves do not enter, nor do you allow those to enter who are seeking to do so.
