Galatians 5:26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another. Love of vainglory is a common vice the whole world through, in all conditions. No village so small but there be one or two peasants therein, that will fain be taken for wiser and better than the rest. It is so pleasant to be pointed at with the finger and hear it said: "See, there is a man that is fit for anything!" This vice is common, yet nowhere does it such harm as to those who fulfil a spiritual function and service in the Church. (Luther.)
