In Christianity, pride (associated with the terms vanity or arrogance) is the essentially competitive<ref name="excel"/> and excessive belief in one's own abilities that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God; for example: "In his Pride the wicked does not seek Him; in all his thoughts there is no room for God." (Psalm 10:4) Pride the greatest of the [[Seven Deadly Sins]] (pride, [[envy]], [[anger|wrath]], [[sloth (sin)|sloth]], [[greed]], [[gluttony]] and [[lust]]).

*'''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.''
[[Augustine of Hippo]] taught that pride was [[original sin]].<ref>''City of God'', Book XIV Chapter 14. [https://www.documentacatholicaomnia.eu/03d/0354-0430,_Augustinus,_De_Civitate_Dei_Contra_Paganos,_EN.pdf]</ref>
Pride is essentially think 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 though he was smarter than God. The [[Prodigal son]] didn't think he need his fathers love, support, and guidance either.
