10 But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, (A)so that when your host comes he may say to you, ‘Friend, move up higher.’ Then you will be honoured in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11 For (B)everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”
