Living with others in mind
We who are strong ought to bear with the failings of the weak and not to please ourselves. Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up. For even Christ did not please himself but, as it is written: "The insults of those who insult you have fallen on me." For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us, so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.
May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you a spirit of unity among yourselves as you follow Christ Jesus, so that with one heart and mouth you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Romans 15:1-6 NIV
Pride
Pride goes before destruction,
And a haughty spirit before stumbling.
It is better to be humble in spirit
with the lowly than
to divide the spoil with the proud.
Proverbs 16:18,19 NASB
