In the same way, I’m speaking to you who are younger. Follow the lead of those who are older. All of you, put on a spirit free of pride toward one another. Put it on as if it were your clothes.

But suppose your hearts are jealous and bitter. Suppose you are concerned only about getting ahead. Then don’t brag about it. And don’t say no to the truth.Wisdom like this doesn’t come down from heaven. It belongs to the earth. It doesn’t come from the Holy Spirit. It comes from the devil.Are you jealous? Are you concerned only about getting ahead? Then your life will be a mess. You will be doing all kinds of evil things.

But he gives grace to those who are humble.”( Proverbs 3:34)

A person more important than you may have been invited.If so, the host who invited both of you will come to you. He will say,‘ Give this person your seat.’ Then you will be filled with shame. You will have to take the least important place.But when you are invited, take the lowest place. Then your host will come over to you. He will say,‘ Friend, move up to a better place.’ Then you will be honored in front of all the other guests.All those who lift themselves up will be made humble. And those who make themselves humble will be lifted up.”

Galatians 5:20-21
It includes worshiping statues of gods and worshiping evil powers. It also includes hatred and fighting, jealousy and fits of anger. Sinful desire is interested only in getting ahead. It stirs up trouble. It separates people into their own little groups.It wants what others have. It gets drunk and takes part in wild parties. It does many things of that kind. I warn you now as I did before. People who live like this will not receive God’s kingdom.

Philippians 1:15-17
It’s true that some preach about Christ because they are jealous. But others preach about Christ to help me in my work.The last group acts out of love. They know I have been put here to be a witness for the good news.But the others preach about Christ only to get ahead. They preach Christ for the wrong reasons. They think they can stir up trouble for me while I am being held by chains.

I’m afraid that when I come I won’t find you as I want you to be. I’m afraid that you won’t find me as you want me to be. I’m afraid there will be arguing, jealousy and fits of anger. I’m afraid each of you will focus only on getting ahead. Then you will tell lies about each other. You will talk about each other. I’m afraid you will be proud and cause trouble.
