Act with Humility
You are a representative of Christ; your actions should reflect positively on him. You are not forbidden from behaving righteously before men, but from making it your goal to be seen for the sake of receiving their praise. Do nothing for your own glory, for you cannot save yourself. Jesus has done that work for you, therefore, bring glory to Him; represent him well. Act with humility.
Be careful! When you do good things, don’t do them in front of people to be seen by them. If you do that, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. When you give to the poor, don’t be like the hypocrites. They blow trumpets in the synagogues and on the streets so that people will see them and honor them. I tell you the truth, those hypocrites already have their full reward. So when you give to the poor, don’t let anyone know what you are doing. Your giving should be done in secret. Your Father can see what is done in secret, and he will reward you. Matthew 6:1-4
We must not be proud or make trouble with each other or be jealous of each other. Galatians 5:26
Does your life in Christ give you strength? Does his love comfort you? Do we share together in the spirit? Do you have mercy and kindness? If so, make me very happy by having the same thoughts, sharing the same love, and having one mind and purpose. When you do things, do not let selfishness or pride be your guide. Instead, be humble and give more honor to others than to yourselves. Do not be interested only in your own life, but be interested in the lives of others. In your lives you must think and act like Christ Jesus. Philippians 2:1-5
In the same way, younger people should be willing to be under older people. And all of you should be very humble with each other. God is against the proud, but he gives grace to the humble. Be humble under God’s powerful hand so he will lift you up when the right time comes. 1 Peter 5:5-6
