Those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.

Cursed be every one who shall insert into my sayings that I am the son of God.

And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.

What is exalted among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Between the love-deed-Yes and the power-deed-No
And pressing forward honor reality.
