What does pride lead to according to the Bible?

Answered in 1 source

According to the Bible, pride leads to contention and strife among believers, as outlined in Proverbs 13:10.

The Bible indicates that pride is the root cause of many relational issues among believers, particularly in Proverbs 13:10, which asserts, 'Only by pride cometh contention.' This means that whenever there is disagreement or quarrel, pride is often at the heart of the issue. The tendency to place oneself at the center—believing one is superior or more deserving—creates divisions and conflicts. Understanding this scriptural principle encourages Christians to examine their hearts for any prideful attitudes that may contribute to disunity and strive to seek reconciliation and peace driven by humility.
