If you think you are too important to help someone, you are only fooling yourself. You are not that important.

Galatians 6:3 (New Living Translation)

For if anyone thinks himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

Galatians 6:3 (New King James Version)

Stoop down and reach out to those who are oppressed. Share their burdens, and so complete Christ’s law. If you think you are too good for that, you are badly deceived.

Galatians 5:26 (The Message)

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other.

Galatians 5:26 (New International Version)

Let us not become conceited, or provoke one another, or be jealous of one another.
