Luke 18:12-14

New King James Version

¹² I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’ ¹³ And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me a sinner!’ ¹⁴ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; ^(A)for everyone who exalts himself will be ^[a]humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
