The Bible Shows the Power in Humility (Understanding the Meaning of Humility in the Bible) Clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble (1 Peter 5:5). God says when you are humble, you are free from pride and arrogance. You are able to be a peacemaker without needing to fight for your rights. You are able to walk humbly in the power of God’s Holy Spirit, not your own personal power. Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves (Philippians 2:3). I am gentle and humble in heart (Matthew 11:29). You can defuse arguments when you are humble. You do not need to stand up for yourself in an angry manner. And you do not have to win every argument. You can handle unfair treatment peacefully when you are humble. You can respond to unfair treatment without being overcome by bitterness. Godly humility means you do not feel a need for vengeance or revenge. Get rid of all bitterness, rage and anger, brawling and slander, along with every form of malice. Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you (Ephesians 4:31-32).
