What does the Bible say about pride and contention?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible clearly states that pride leads to contention; conflict arises when individuals act out of pride.

Several passages in Scripture emphasize that pride is a primary source of strife. As noted in Proverbs 13:10, 'Only by pride cometh contention.' This indicates that when individuals elevate themselves or their opinions above others, it fosters an environment ripe for conflict. The Apostle James echoes this sentiment in James 4:1, asking, 'From where come wars and fightings among you? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members?' Therefore, humility is essential for fostering love and unity within the community of believers, enabling Christians to live in harmony.
