In his pride, Moses lost his temper and was kept out of the Promised Land (Numbers 20:1–13). Pride kept Joshua from seeking God’s will at Ai, and he lost the battle (Joshua 7). King Nebuchadnezzar’s pride turned him into an animal (Daniel 4), and Peter’s pride led to his denial of Christ (Luke 22:31–34).

Truly I say to you, they have received their reward in full!

For we also were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, enslaved to various desires and pleasures, spending our lives in wickedness and envy, despicable, hating one another. But when the kindness and love for mankind of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not by deeds of righteousness that we have done, but because of his mercy, through the washing of regeneration and renewal by the Holy Spirit, whom he poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior,
Conclusion
3 Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man....It is the comparison that makes you proud: the pleasure of being above the rest. Once the element of competition is gone, pride is gone.
