More explanation about New Covenant Literal Application
The New Covenant Literal Application Code (NCLA) is an interpretive guide used by the authors to indicate which person categories a mitzvah applies to, and at what level of literal compliance.
It combines person categories such as Jewish, K'rov Yisrael, and Gentile, together with male/female distinctions and an application level such as mandated, recommended, optional, or prohibited.
This code reflects the authors' interpretive opinion and is provided for prayerful consideration. On this page, the technical code is summarized into plain language to help new readers understand it more easily.
Detailed codes: GFm - Gentile female, mandated | GMm - Gentile male, mandated | JFm - Jewish female, mandated | JMm - Jewish male, mandated | KFm - K'rovat Yisrael female, mandated | KMm - K'rov Yisrael male, mandated

Commentary
Rabbi Michael Rudolph
Humbling ourselves before God means being humble in God’s presence. It is inconceivable that any believer would knowingly be otherwise, but there is a way that believers sometimes transgress. It is being arrogant to our fellow man while forgetting that God (being omnipresent) is there and observing us. The most proactive way for us to humble ourselves before God is to confess our sins and repent publicly. Being humble in general is an overlapping Mitzvah that is dealt with separately elsewhere in this compilation.
