Paul says that humility is an inner attitude that will yield the peaceful fruit of unity in the church body.
Echoing the same truth by denoting the danger of a lack of humility, Thomas Watson wrote,
How many by the wind of popular breath have been blown to hell! Whom the devil cannot destroy by intemperance, he does by vainglory.
And when that prideful vanity is exercised in the church body, it does destruction not only to the soul of the individual but to the inhabitants of the church.
