"The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God."
Galatians 5:19-20
Is it selfish ambition to better yourself? Is it selfish ambition to strive to succeed? To reach for & acquire that job promotion? To be competitive & win/take first place in a game/race?
If selfish ambition is not these things, what is it?
