Galatians 5:25-26

Galatians5:25 If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit.
26 Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
 
Paul winds this chapter up telling us that since the Spirit gave us new life at conversion, we then should stay in step with His leading and promptings throughout life. To walk in the spirit means that all of the gifts of the Spirit will be evident in our life. We should desire to sin no more. Our walk should be such that the world around can look at us and see Jesus in us. Then he winds up telling us to be happy with what we have and not desire what others have. If we need more of something then we need to work ourselves to obtain it. Desiring what others have only causes problems and strife. We should work hard and ask God to help us better ourselves and then be happy with what we have no matter what it is. These two verses let us know that if we would walk in the steps of Jesus we would want for nothing else except what He has for us.
