What does the Bible say about pride among Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against pride, urging believers not to be puffed up against one another, recognizing that all we have is from God.

The Apostle Paul, in 1 Corinthians 4:6-7, teaches that pride and division among believers stem from thinking too highly of oneself or others based on human standards. He emphasizes that all believers are merely servants through whom God's grace has been shown. Each person has nothing to boast about besides what they have received from God. It is critical for Christians to maintain humility and remember that pride is a heart condition that leads to strife and division, contrasting with the humility that Christ exemplified.
