I know both how to be abased, 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.

For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.

For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Thus they were vanquished there, and they went back abased.

Surely (as for) those who are in opposition to Allah and His Apostle; they shall be among the most abased.
