'Pride' in the Bible

as you have partially understood us—that we are your reason for pride, as you are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

We are not commending ourselves to you again, but giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you may have a reply for those who take pride in the outward appearance rather than in the heart.

I have great confidence in you; I have great pride in you. I am filled with encouragement; I am overcome with joy in all our afflictions.
