(3) Do nothing according to selfishness or empty conceit but rather with humility, regard one another as ruling better than yourselves.

The F.O.G Paraphrase
nothing in rivalry or vain-glory, but in humility of mind one another counting more excellent than yourselves—
Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
