11 Bible Verses about Conceit, Description Of

For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

If anyone advocates a different doctrine and does not agree with sound words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the doctrine conforming to godliness, he is conceited and understands nothing; but he has a morbid interest in controversial questions and disputes about words, out of which arise envy, strife, abusive language, evil suspicions,

and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world.

Therefore let him who thinks he stands take heed that he does not fall.

For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery—so that you will not be wise in your own estimation—that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool,
But he who walks wisely will be delivered.

Do not be wise in your own eyes;
Fear the Lord and turn away from evil.

Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!

Thus says the Lord, “Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty man boast of his might, let not a rich man boast of his riches; but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the Lord who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things,” declares the Lord.
