Do you think the Scriptures have no meaning? They say that God is passionate that the spirit he has placed within us should be faithful to him.And he gives grace generously. As the Scriptures say,“ God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

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.You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

They replied,“ When you sit on your glorious throne, we want to sit in places of honor next to you, one on your right and the other on your left.”But Jesus said to them,“ You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink? Are you able to be baptized with the baptism of suffering I must be baptized with?”“ Oh yes,” they replied,“ we are able!” Then Jesus told them,“ You will indeed drink from my bitter cup and be baptized with my baptism of suffering.But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. God has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.”When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.

Then the mother of James and John, the sons of Zebedee, came to Jesus with her sons. She knelt respectfully to ask a favor.“ What is your request?” he asked. She replied,“ In your Kingdom, please let my two sons sit in places of honor next to you, one on your right and the other on your left.”But Jesus answered by saying to them,“ You don’t know what you are asking! Are you able to drink from the bitter cup of suffering I am about to drink?”“ Oh yes,” they replied,“ we are able!”Jesus told them,“ You will indeed drink from my bitter cup. But I have no right to say who will sit on my right or my left. My Father has prepared those places for the ones he has chosen.”When the ten other disciples heard what James and John had asked, they were indignant.

In the same way, you who are younger must accept the authority of the elders. And all of you, dress yourselves in humility as you relate to one another, for“ God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”So humble yourselves under the mighty power of God, and at the right time he will lift you up in honor.

Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud
