What happened to love your neighbor as yourself?


Man o man.  Once again I find myself comparing what Paul said to what Jesus said. 

Here is what Jesus said. 

Mark 12:29-31(NKJV)
Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’  This is the first commandment. 
And the second, like it, is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Paul seems to be saying just the opposite.  Paul seems to be saying think more highly of your neighbor than yourself.

Philippians 2:3(NKJV)
Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than himself. 

Hmmm, who should I listen to?
