(Jonathan Edwards, “Spiritual Pride”)

“I hate pride and arrogance!” Proverbs 8:13

“The Lord detests all the proud of heart. Be sure

of this: They will not go unpunished.” Prov. 16:5

Pride is a person having too high an opinion

of himself.

Pride is the first sin that ever entered into the

universe, and the last sin that is rooted out.

Pride is the worst sin. It is the most secret of

all sins. There is no other matter in which the

heart is more deceitful and unsearchable. Alas,

how much pride the best have in their hearts!

Pride is God’s most stubborn enemy! There is no

sin so much like the devil as pride. It is a secret

and subtle sin, and appears in a great many

shapes which are undetected and unsuspected.
