Sportsmanship

Do not gloat when your enemy falls, and do not let your heart rejoice when he stumbles,

…or the LORD will see and disapprove, and turn His wrath away from him.

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or empty pride, but in humility consider others more important than yourselves.

Do you not know that in a race all the runners run, but only one receives the prize? Run in such a way as to take the prize.

Everyone who competes in the games trains with strict discipline. They do it for a crown that is perishable, but we do it for a crown that is imperishable.

Likewise, a competitor does not receive the crown unless he competes according to the rules.

It is not good to eat too much honey or to search out one’s own glory.

Each of us should please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.

Whatever you do, work at it with your whole being, as for the Lord and not for men,

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth—a stranger, and not your own lips.
