Galatians 5:26

Desirous of vain glory. Or, “conceited,” “egotistical.” Even in their hearts Christians are not to boast of their spiritual attainments (see v. 25), but in humility to count others better than themselves (Phil. 2:3).

Provoking one another. Nothing can be more offensive to others than an affectation of superior virtue.

Envying one another. This is the converse of “provoking one another.” It is just as fatal to Christian character to be jealous of those who may, in certain respects, be superior to us as it is to feel superior ourselves. Often an affectation of superiority is simply an attempt to conceal feelings of inferiority owing to the realization that others are, in fact, superior. Envy leads to hatred, and hatred, in turn, seeks revenge. Humility ever remains a cardinal Christians virtue. See Phil 2:3.
