"Honor one another above yourselves." Romans 12:10b
Honor reminds me of two things:
1. Military awards
2. Marriage
The point is, honor requires sacrifice. You have to give up something that you really like. Your pride. Your comfort. Your life.
It is its own reward, though, to see a person benefit from your sacrifice. Honor is not the real reward.
It's strange, though. Everyone wants honor, but those who get it don't set out with honor in their sights. They have some higher purpose.
