SCRIPTURE

"For I say, through the grace that was given me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think as to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to each man a measure of faith." — Romans 12:3 (ASV)

Humility is sober thinking. Pride is drunken thinking. He who thinks more of himself than he should is, to that extent, intoxicated with conceit; but he who judges rightly, and is therefore humble, thinks soberly. May God grant us to be very sober in our thoughts of ourselves.
