Ambition
Matthew 4,8-10
Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written: The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
Matthew 23,11-12
He that is the greatest among you shall be your servant.
And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be humbled: and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.
Luke 12,29-31
And seek not what you shall eat or what you shall drink: and be not lifted up on high.
For all these things do the nations of the world seek. But your Father knoweth that you have need of these things.
But seek ye first the kingdom of God and his justice: and all these things shall be added unto you.
John 5,44
How can you believe, who receive glory one from another: and the glory which is from God alone, you do not seek?
