If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care—then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves.

Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves

When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves.

Be free from pride-filled opinions, for they will only harm your cherished unity. Don’t allow self-promotion to hide in your hearts, but in authentic humility put others first and view others as more important than yourselves.
