KJV ORIGINAL
But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.

✦ MADE SIMPLE
But when you're invited somewhere, don't grab the best seat in the house. Instead, take a spot in the back. That way, when your host sees you, they might say, 'Hey, come sit up here with me!' And everyone will see them honoring you like that.
⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE
Choose humility over the spotlight — it's way better when others lift you up than when you have to hype yourself.
