'Ambition' in the Bible

but to those [who act] from selfish ambition and who disobey the truth, but who obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger.

And so, having as my ambition to proclaim the gospel where Christ has not been named, in order that I will not build on the foundation belonging to someone else,

Therefore indeed we have as our ambition, whether at home [in the body] or absent [from the body], to be acceptable to him.

For I am afraid lest somehow [when I] arrive, I will not find you as I want, and I may be found by you as you do not want. [I am afraid] lest somehow [there will be] strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, slander, gossip, pride, disorder.

idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, factions,

The former proclaim Christ from selfish ambition, not sincerely, thinking to raise up affliction in my imprisonment.

[Do] nothing according to selfish ambition or according to empty conceit, but in humility considering one another better than yourselves,

But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and tell lies against the truth.

For where [there is] jealousy and selfish ambition, there [is] disorder and every evil practice.
