*'''Proverbs 6:16-19''' ''16 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17 A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.''

Pride is essentially thinking more of yourself than you are, or simply, thinking you are something you are not. For example, [[Lucifer]] thinking he was God, or [[Adam]] thinking he knew what was better for himself than God did, despite God's warning. Adam thought he was smarter than God. The [[Prodigal son]] didn't think he needed his father's love, support, and guidance, either.

[[Infant baptism]] cannot wash away pride.
According to Sebastien Michaelis, humans are seduced by Pride by the great demon Belial, who is also known as The Lord of Arrogance. [[Pope Gregory I]] enumerated pride as the greatest of the "[[Seven Deadly Sins]]" (pride, [[envy]], [[anger|wrath]], [[sloth (sin)|sloth]], [[greed]], [[gluttony]] and [[lust]]), although they are not explicitly listed in the Bible. Saint [[Thomas Aquinas]] wrote that "inordinate self-love is the cause of every sin."<ref>Aquinas, Thomas (1274). ''Summa Theologica'', Part II-I, Q. 77, A. 5, ans. Translated by Fathers of the English Dominican Province. New York: Benzinger Brothers.</ref> In this he followed Gregory.
