2 Corinthians 10:12 KJV “For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves:
but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.”
Supporting Scriptures
Galatians 6:4 KJV “But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.”
James 3:16 KJV “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.”
1 Corinthians 3:7 KJV “So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.”
Race
Devotional
Comparison fuels division.
When believers compare influence, success, or recognition, envy grows.
In Luke 15 KJV, the older brother resented the prodigal’s restoration. Comparison stole his joy.
Psychological research links social comparison to anxiety and resentment. Scripture warns that where envy exists, confusion follows.
Unity grows when we celebrate others instead of competing.
Christ measures faithfulness—not fame. We are to acknowledge God’s will over our own will.
