What does the Bible say about pride in Christians?

Answered in 2 sources

The Bible warns against pride, identifying it as the root cause of many conflicts and divisions among God's people.

Pride is identified as a deep-seated issue within human nature, including among believers. It leads to strife, envy, and division, as seen in the request of James and John for positions of honor in Christ's kingdom. The Scriptures emphasize that pride is the oldest sin and a universal temptation that must be vigilantly guarded against. Proverbs 6:17 highlights that God hates pride, reinforcing the understanding that it corrupts relationships and hinders spiritual growth among Christians.
