and do everything without complaining or arguing

Philippians 2:3 NIV  "Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit, but in humility consider others better than yourselves"

NASB :  "Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves"

ERV:  "Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves."

NLT:  "Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves."

 Worldwide English  "3Do not try to prove you are better than others. Do not be proud of yourselves, but be humble. Think of other people as being better than yourselves."


The Message:  "1-4If you've gotten anything at all out of following Christ, if his love has made any difference in your life, if being in a community of the Spirit means anything to you, if you have a heart, if you care— then do me a favor: Agree with each other, love each other, be deep-spirited friends. Don't push your way to the front; don't sweet-talk your way to the top. Put yourself aside, and help others get ahead. Don't be obsessed with getting your own advantage. Forget yourselves long enough to lend a helping hand."
