Luke 14:7-11
Then when Jesus noticed how the guests chose the places of honor, he told them a parable. He said to them,“ When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, because a person more distinguished than you may have been invited by your host.So the host who invited both of you will come and say to you,‘ Give this man your place.’ Then, ashamed, you will begin to move to the least important place.But when you are invited, go and take the least important place, so that when your host approaches he will say to you,‘ Friend, move up here to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in the presence of all who share the meal with you.For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

2 Corinthians 10 4-2 Corinthians 10 10
for the weapons of our warfare are not human weapons, but are made powerful by God for tearing down strongholds. We tear down argumentsand every arrogant obstacle that is raised up against the knowledge of God, and we take every thought captive to make it obey Christ.We are also ready to punish every act of disobedience, whenever your obedience is complete.You are looking at outward appearances. If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, he should reflect on this again: Just as he himself belongs to Christ, so too do we.For if I boast somewhat more about our authority that the Lord gave us for building you up and not for tearing you down, I will not be ashamed of doing so.I do not want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters,because some say,“ His letters are weighty and forceful, but his physical presence is weak and his speech is of no account.”

Revelation 13:11-17
Then I saw a second beast, coming out of the earth. It had two horns like a lamb, but it spoke like a dragon.It exercised all the authority of the first beast on its behalf, and made the earth and its inhabitants worship the first beast, whose fatal wound had been healed.And it performed great signs, even causing fire to come down from heaven to the earth in full view of the people.Because of the signs it was given power to perform on behalf of the first beast, it deceived the inhabitants of the earth. It ordered them to set up an image in honor of the beast who was wounded by the sword and yet lived.The second beast was given power to give breath to the image of the first beast, so that the image could speak and cause all who refused to worship the image to be killed.It also forced all people, great and small, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads,so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.
