Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others.
That's an attitude that is rare even among Christians. We hold onto our views tightly, and if someone thinks differently, we argue with them. We have to be convinced to change our view, if we do at all. But imagine having the attitude that others know better than you. Imagine if that, rather than telling people when you think they're wrong, was your default reaction.
It might sound a bit illogical or even foolish, but it's the attitude that Christ had. He was in the right, and we're not, but he took on all the wrong so that, through his sacrifice, we could be made right.
