1. Why did the apostle Paul warn
everyone “not to think of himself more

were righteous, and
despised others”

‘God, I thank You that I
am not like other men—
extortioners, unjust,
adulterers, or even as
this tax collector.’”
(Luke 18:11)

4. Jesus taught that
the Pharisee was

God because
“everyone who
exalts himself will
be humbled”
(Luke 18:14)
