Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit
Galatians 5:26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.
Rather, in humility value others above yourselves
Romans 12:10 Be devoted to one another in love. Honor one another above yourselves.
1 Peter 5:5-7 In the same way, you who are younger, submit yourselves to your elders. All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because, "God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble." (Proverbs 3:34) Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others
1 Corinthians 10:24 No one should seek their own good, but the good of others.
1 Corinthians 10:33 ...even as I try to please everyone in every way. For I am not seeking my own good but the good of many, so that they may be saved.
Romans 15:1-2 We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please our neighbors for their good, to build them up.
1 Corinthians 13:5 It (love) does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
