Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Pride and selfishness always go together. A truly humble person cannot be selfish. Pride produces selfishness.
Pride is hidden but manifests as selfish acts.
Where there is jealousy and selfishness, there is also disorder and every kind of evil. Selfishness causes all evil. All evil proceeds from selfish actions. Selfishness is the only manifest problem, but pride feeds it. Dealing with the root cause of the problem is the only lasting solution.
