Note 23 at Gal. 5:26: Paul may be expressing in a negative way the danger of failing to walk in the Spirit (see note 6 at v. 16, p. 1082). What he characterizes is the manifestation of the flesh (see note 14 at v. 19, p. 1083). "Vain glory" is speaking of the pride that comes from a person who is trusting in self effort. "Provoking one another" would be to trouble or irritate one another. "Envying one another" has the idea of being jealous of one another.
