KJV Word TypeNoun
DefinitionA lowly estimation of oneself — not self-deprecation, but a true assessment in light of God's greatness and one's own creatureliness and sinfulness. Christ is the supreme example of humility, taking the form of a servant and humbling Himself to the point of death on a cross.
Key Verses"Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up." (James 4:10); "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves." (Philippians 2:3)
