Kind to Enemy

Matthew 5:43-44 [ESV] 43: "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' 44: But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, Proverbs 25:21-22 [ESV] 21: If your enemy is hungry, give him bread to eat, and if he is thirsty, give him water to drink, 22: for you will heap burning coals on his head, and the LORD will reward you.

Humility

Luke 14:7-11 [ESV] 7: Now he told a parable to those who were invited, when he noticed how they chose the places of honor, saying to them, 8: "When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not sit down in a place of honor, lest someone more distinguished than you be invited by him, 9: and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this person,' and then you will begin with shame to take the lowest place. 10: But when you are invited, go and sit in the lowest place, so that when your host comes he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher.' Then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at table with you. 11: For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted." Proverbs 25:6-7 [ESV] 6: Do not put yourself forward in the king's presence or stand in the place of the great, 7: for it is better to be told, "Come up here," than to be put lower in the presence of a noble.
