“Pride is the great sin of self-elevation. It is for so many a personal Rameumptom, a holy stand that justifies envy, greed, and vanity. In a sense, pride is the original sin, for before the foundations of this earth, pride felled Lucifer… Some count these blessings as evidence of being “chosen,” “superior,” or “more righteous” than others. This is a sin of “Thank God I am more special than you.”

Peter warned:“God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble”
Peter 5:5
Moroni 7:44
1 Corinthians 1:27
D&C 1:19“The weak things of the world shall come forth and break down the
might and strong ones…”
“But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty”
“…for none is acceptable before God,
save the meek and lowly in
heart;…”

Elder Ezra Taft Benson
“Pride exists not only from the top looking down, but often from the bottom looking
up”
![Page 19: “One Proud, One Humble” Parable of the Pharisee and publican Luke 18:9-14](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649cee5503460f949bb348/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
C. S. Lewis“Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of
having more of it than the next man…
…it is the comparison that makes you proud; the pleasure of being
above the rest.
![Page 20: “One Proud, One Humble” Parable of the Pharisee and publican Luke 18:9-14](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022051517/56649cee5503460f949bb348/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Once the element of competition is gone, pride has gone.
Whenever we find that our religious life is making us feel that we are good—above all, that we are better than someone else—I
think we may be sure that we are being acted on, not by God, but by
the devil.”
Mere Christianity P 109-111

“Do not say: O God, I thank thee that we are better than our brethren! but
rather say; O Lord, forgive my unworthiness, and remember my
brethren in mercy—yea acknowledge your unworthiness before God at all
times.”

Mosiah 3:19
“…and becometh as a child, submissive, meek, humble, patient, full of love, willing to submit to all things which the Lord seeth fit to inflict upon him, even as a child
doth submit to his father.”
