Now a dispute began between the disciples as to who might be the greatest among them.
I wrote something to Messiah’s community, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, doesn’t welcome us.
Do nothing out of selfishness or conceit, but with humility consider others as more important than yourselves,
Do everything without grumbling or arguing,
Be tenderly devoted to one another in brotherly love; outdo one another in giving honor.
For through the grace given me, I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of yourself than you ought to think—but to use sound judgment, as God has assigned to each person a measure of faith.
