In verse sixteen Paul tells us to not to be proud but be willing to associate ourselves with people of low position. Many people use their contacts and relationships for selfish ambition. They select those people who will help them climb the social ladder. Christ demonstrated and taught that we should treat all people with respect despite religious, social, and economic differences. We must never consider others as being beneath us. Paul says we need to live in harmony with others and not be too proud to enjoy the company of ordinary people. Christ showed his unfailing and unrestricted love by dying for all God has chosen despite ethnic and social backgrounds.

Romans 12:16
16 Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position.[a] Do not be conceited.
