Philippians 2:1-2 NIV}{"Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit..." Philippians 2:3a NIV}{“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.” When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it.

James 4:6 NIV}{"When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom." Proverbs 11:2 NIV}{All of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another because, “God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.” Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. 1 Peter 5:5-6 NIV}{"Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped, But made Himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to death - Even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in Heaven and on earth and under the Earth, And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Philippians 2:5-11 NIV}

Lewis : “There is no fault which makes a man more unpopular, and no fault which we are more unconscious of in ourselves. And the more we have it ourselves, the more we dislike it in others.” (Mere Christianity); C.S. Lewis : “Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man.” (Mere Christianity); Milton Vincent : “According to Scripture, God deliberately designed the Gospel in such a way so as to strip me of pride and leave me without ANY grounds for boasting in myself whatsoever. This is actually a wonderful mercy from God, for pride is at the root of all my sin…Preaching the Gospel to myself each day mounts a powerful assault against my pride and serves to establish humility in it’s place.” – (A Gospel Primer); C.S. Lewis : “Humility is not thinking less of yourself, it’s thinking of yourself less.&rdquoTim Keller : “The only way to work on humility is to work on your pride.&rdquo
