With humility consider others superior to you.​—Philippians 2:3.

A humble person is generally also a modest person, able to estimate accurately his own abilities and achievements, to acknowledge his mistakes, and to accept suggestions and new ideas. Humility greatly pleases Jehovah. In the Bible, modesty similarly refers to having a proper estimate of ourselves and an awareness of our limitations. In the original language of the text, the emphasis seems to be on how that awareness should affect our behavior toward others. When might we start to think or act immodestly? Consider a few of the warning signs. We might be taking ourselves or our privileges too seriously. (Romans 12:16) We might be drawing attention to ourselves in inappropriate ways. (1 Timothy 2:9, 10) Or we might be advocating strong opinions solely on the basis of our position, connections, or personal thinking​—not even being aware that we have crossed the line from modesty to presumptuousness.​
