Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility
consider others better than yourselves.
Matthew 16:26 For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole
world, and lose his soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
1 Thessalonians 4:11, 12 (NIV) Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life, to mind your
own business and to work with your hands, just as we told you, so that your
daffy life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be
dependent on anybody.
James 3:16 (NIV) For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you
find disorder and every evil practice.
