What does the Bible say about comparing ourselves to others?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible warns against comparing ourselves to others, as it is unwise and leads to spiritual pride.

The Bible teaches that measuring ourselves by others can lead to a false sense of righteousness and spiritual pride. Paul cautions against this in 2 Corinthians 10:12, stating, 'For we do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.' True obedience and righteousness cannot be gauged by how one distances themselves from the sins of others. Instead, we must measure ourselves against the perfect standard of Christ, recognizing our failures in doing so.
