honor, for someone more distinguished than
you may have been invited by him, and he
who invited you both will come and say to
you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then
in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last
place. But when you are invited, go and
recline at the last place, so that when the one
who has invited you comes, he may say to
you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will
have honor in the sight of all who are at the
table with you. For everyone who exalts
himself will be humbled, and he who
humbles himself will be exalted.

in fine apparel, and there should
also come in a poor man in filthy clothes,
and you pay attention to the one wearing
fine clothes and say to him, 'You sit here
in a good place,' and say to the poor
man, 'You stand there,' or, 'Sit here at
my footstool,' have you not shown
partiality among yourselves, and
become judges with evil thoughts?
