Jacob 2
After Jacob had denounced materialism and pride that seems to be increasing among his people, he then counsels them how to overcome such saying -
"Think of your brethren like unto yourselves, and be familiar with all and free with your substance, that they may be rich like unto you." (Book of Mormon | Jacob 2:17)
What wise counsel. Jacob suggests three methods, 1) Consider others as valuable as yourselves, 2) be familiar with them, and 3) be free with your substance. As we practice each of these, I believe we will be less focused on pride and material things.
