Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
More instructions from Paul, in one of his usual terse and pithy statements. I have to remind myself frequently that Paul assumes that I am listening to the guidance of the Holy Spirit and accepting that guidance unquestioningly. It is impossible for me, in my own strength, to admit to selfish ambition or conceit and humble, why I'm the sine qua non, the epitome of humility. Hah!
