Don't be selfish; don't try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. Don't look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
Philippians 2:3 NCV
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.
Philippians 2:1-4 MSG
If you’ve gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care —then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don’t push your way to the front; don’t sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don’t be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand.
Philippians 2:12-13 NLT
Dear friends, you always followed my instructions when I was with you. And now that I am away, it is even more important. Work hard to show the results of your salvation, obeying God with deep reverence and fear. For God is working in you, giving you the desire and the power to do what pleases him.
// Though we need to look up for ourselves(self-confidence) we should not push our way up thru our sugar-coated talks. Instead help others get ahead, not for your self-advantage, always ready to lend a hand. Just like what Jesus did for us though He is God Himself, He offered His life for our benefits, He humbly done and demonstrate it on the cross.
// Be always ready, obedient at all times, readily to prove the salvation He gave to you, because God himself is willing and working to make you able to obey His will for His purpose. As we live in a corrupt and sinful world, be the source of light, hope, a message of life that Jesus can only give... be the testimony of God's goodness.
// LIVE LIFE WITH A PURPOSE
// Our life is a cycle of blessings and battles, it is important that we know who to approach when trials comes. Thanking Him even during BLESSINGS and TRIALS in our lives.
// Noah before the flood, he followed God and yet he experienced a lot of trials and even people judgement, still he chooses to do God's will.
// As for Jesus right after He was recognized by God (during Jesus baptism), right after the Holy Spirit came to Him, He was tempted by Satan. Same mostly of the believers after they had their encounter with the Holy Spirit, trials comes. But this is the assurance, God will never leave you, He will send someone to the rescue.
