Sin
What does the Bible say about pride?
Published Reviewed
Pride is consistently condemned in Scripture as the root of many sins. 'Pride goes before destruction' (Proverbs 16:18). God 'opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble' (James 4:6). Satan fell through pride. We're called to humility, considering others more significant than ourselves.
Why this answer? It starts with Proverbs 16:18, then cross-checks James 4:6 and 1 Peter 5:5 so the summary stays anchored in Scripture.
