Humility is one of the traits that God wants to see in His people: "as God's chosen people...clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience" (Colossians 3:12). The Bible equates humility with other positive characteristics, such as doing good, being peaceable and being considerate. James 3:13 tells us that humility leads to wisdom: "Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom."
