GAL 5:26
Let us not be desirous of vainglory, provoking one another, envying one another.
Gal. 5:26
Those who live for their own glory are stuck in an unhappy sandwich. On one side is envying one another: there are always others who are better than we are or who have more than we have. On the other side is provoking one another: those we are above are provoked to envy or covetousness. Those who live for Christ have a better object than living for the eye of man - rather, they live for the eye of God. They can help the unfortunate and rejoice with the successful.
