| Paul preaches lowing himself  
 ( 21 )  Lu 3:5 Every  valley  shall be  filled , and  every  mountain  and  hill  shall be brought low "shaphal"; and  the crooked  shall be made  straight , and  the rough  ways  shall be made  smooth ;
  
    .. hill shall be brought low  .. 
   Again the idea of contrasting high with low
 
   ( 22 )  Lu 14:11 For  whosoever  exalteth  himself  shall be abased "shaphal"; and  he that humbleth "shaphal" himself  shall be exalted .
 
    .. .. himself shall be low  ..be abased  and he that low  .. 
   Again the idea of contrasting high with low
 
   ( 23 )  Lu 18:14 I tell  you , this man  went down  to  his  house  justified  rather than  the other : for  every one  that exalteth  himself  shall be abased "shaphal"; and  he that humbleth "shaphal" himself  shall be exalted .
 
    .. .. himself shall be low  ..be abased  and he that low  .. 
  
  ( 24 )  2Co 11:7   Have I committed  an offence  in abasing "shaphal" myself  that  ye  might be exalted , because  I have preached  to you  the gospel  of God  freely ?
  
    .. an offence in lowering myself  .. 
 Paul speaking about his lowly manner with others...
 
   ( 25 )  2Co 12:21 And lest , when I come  again , my  God  will humble "shaphal" me  among  you , and  that I shall bewail  many  which  have sinned already , and  have  not  repented  of  the uncleanness  and  fornication  and  lasciviousness  which  they have committed .
 
    ..  my God will low  .. 
  
  ( 26 )  Php 2:8 And  being found  in fashion  as  a man , he humbled "shaphal" himself , and became  obedient  unto  death , even  the death  of the cross . {fashion: or habit} 
  
    .. as a man  he low  .. 
  
  ( 27 )  Php 4:12   I know  both how to be abased "shaphal", and  I know  how to abound : every where   and  in  all things  I am instructed  both  to be full  and  to be hungry , both  to abound  and  to suffer need .
  
    .. 4:12  I know both how to be low  .. 
  
  ( 28 )  Jas 4:10 Humble yourselves "shaphal" in the sight  of the Lord , and  he shall lift  you  up .
  
    .. lower youself in the sight of GOD  ..
