Galatians 5:26

Plain English Version

We can’t reckon we are better than anyone else. We can’t do things that make other people angry, so that we start fighting each other. And we can’t wish we are like somebody else, and then hate that other person.

Listen, you young people, it is like this. You have to listen carefully to your Christian leaders. Don’t think you are great or more important than other people.
