  3. Vine’s Dictionary of New Testament Words Humble (Adjective and Verb) <A-1,Adjective,5011,tapeinos> primarily signifies "low-lying." It is used always in a good sense in the NT, metaphorically, to denote (a) "of low degree, brought low,“ . . . <A-2,Adjective,5011 5424,tapeinophron> "humble-minded" (phren, "the mind"), 1Pe_3:8; see COURTEOUS. <B-1,Verb,5013,tapeinoo> akin to A, signifies "to make low," W. 65th St. church of Christ - April 9,2006

  4. International Standard Bible Encyclopedia - It by no means implies slavishness or servility; nor is it inconsistent with a right estimate of oneself, one's gifts and calling of God, or with proper self-assertion when called for. But the habitual frame of mind of a child of God is that of one who feels not only that he owes all his natural gifts, etc., to God, but that he has been the object of undeserved redeeming love, and who regards himself as being not his own, but God's in Christ. . . . The humble mind is thus at the root of all other graces and virtues. Self-exaltation spoils everything. . . . (1Co_13:4). W. 65th St. church of Christ - April 9,2006

  5. International Standard Bible Encyclopedia - ‘It is not genuine humility when we humble ourselves with the feeling that we are greater than others, but only when we do not think of self at all. It is not alone the sense of sin that should create the humble spirit: Jesus had no sin. . . . There may be much self-satisfaction where sinfulness is confessed. We may be proud of our humility. It is necessary also always to beware of “the pride that apes humility.”’ W. 65th St. church of Christ - April 9,2006
