Philippians 2:1-4
So does belonging to Christ help you in any way? Does his love comfort you at all? Do you share anything in common because of the Holy Spirit? Has Christ ever been gentle and loving toward you?If any of these things has happened to you, then agree with one another. Have the same love. Be one in spirit and in the way you think and act. By doing this, you will make my joy complete.Don’t do anything only to get ahead. Don’t do it because you are proud. Instead, be humble. Value others more than yourselves.None of you should look out just for your own good. Each of you should also look out for the good of others.
-
Ephesians 4:1-7
I am a prisoner because of the Lord. So I am asking you to live a life worthy of what God chose you for.Don’t be proud at all. Be completely gentle. Be patient. Put up with one another in love.The Holy Spirit makes you one in every way. So try your best to remain as one. Let peace keep you together.There is one body and one Spirit. You were appointed to one hope when you were chosen.There is one Lord, one faith and one baptism.There is one God and Father of all. He is over everything. He is through everything. He is in everything.But each one of us has received a gift of grace. These gifts are given to us by Christ.

James 3:13-18
Is anyone among you wise and understanding? That person should show it by living a good life. A wise person isn’t proud when they do good deeds.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 the wisdom that comes from heaven is pure. That’s the most important thing about it. And that’s not all. It also loves peace. It thinks about others. It obeys. It is full of mercy and good fruit. It is fair. It doesn’t pretend to be what it is not.Those who make peace plant it like a seed. They will harvest a crop of right living.
