Exegesis
The universal adjective pas {πᾶς | pâs} with the articular participles ho hupson {ὁ ὑψῶν | ho hupsôn} and ho tapeinon {ὁ ταπεινῶν | ho ta-pei-nōn} creates two substantive categories: “the one exalting himself” versus “the one humbling himself,” highlighting ongoing behavioral patterns.
In context — Luke 14:11
For everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
