“Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.”
Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other. — Paul's final warning against flesh-motivated vices within the community: 'kenodoxos' (vain conceit), 'provocation' ('prokaleomai' — challenge to combat), and mutual envy ('phthoneō') undermine community and contradict Spirit-fruit; the closing focuses the catalog on internal communal sins.
