²⁶ Let us not become vainglorious, provoking one another, envying one another.

¹⁰ But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest place; that when he that hath bidden thee cometh, he may say to thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have glory in the presence of all that sit at meat with thee.

⁷ So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

¹⁵ But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.

¹ If there is therefore any exhortation in Christ, if any consolation of love, if any fellowship of the Spirit, if any tender mercies and compassions,

² make full my joy, that ye be of the same mind, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind;

³ `doing' nothing through faction or through vainglory, but in lowliness of mind each counting other better than himself;

¹⁴ But if ye have bitter jealousy and faction in your heart, glory not and lie not against the truth.

¹⁵ This wisdom is not `a wisdom' that cometh down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.

¹⁶ For where jealousy and faction are, there is confusion and every vile deed.

¹⁶ But now ye glory in your vauntings: all such glorying is evil.

⁵ Likewise, ye younger, be subject unto the elder. Yea, all of you gird yourselves with humility, to serve one another: for God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace to the humble.
