Galatians 5:26 (WEB)

Let’s not become conceited, provoking one another, and envying one another.

Fathers and councils · 5

Tertullian

  • “But “glory,” on the one hand, is everywhere “vain;” and malice, on the other, is always odious to the Lord; in this case indeed most of all, when, being provoked by a neighbour’s malice, it constitutes itself superior in following out revenge, and by paying wickedness doubles that which has once been done.” — editor's note: See Gal. v. 26; Phil. ii. 3.

Augustine of Hippo

  • “…God hath despised them;” and again, “God hath broken the bones of those who please men;” and again the apostle, “Let us not be desirous of vainglory;” and still another time, “But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.”” — editor's note: Gal. v. 26.
