Bible verses about "arrogance" | ABU

²⁰ And he said: That which comes out of the man, that defiles the man. ²¹ For from within, out of the heart of men, come forth evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, ²² thefts, covetousness, wickedness, deceit, wantonness, an evil eye, blasphemy, pride, foolishness. ²³ All these evil things come forth from within, and defile the man.

¹ AND seeing the multitudes, he went up into the mountain; and he having sat down, his disciples came to him. ² And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying: ³ Happy the poor in spirit; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ⁴ Happy they that mourn; for they shall be comforted. ⁵ Happy the meek; for they shall inherit the earth. ⁶ Happy they that hunger and thirst after righteousness; for they shall be filled. ⁷ Happy the merciful; for they shall obtain mercy. ⁸ Happy the pure in heart; for they shall see God. ⁹ Happy the peacemakers; for they shall be called sons of God. ¹⁰ Happy they who are persecuted for righteousness' sake; for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹ Happy are ye, when they shall revile and persecute you, and shall say all evil against you falsely, for my sake. ¹² Rejoice, and exult; because great is your reward in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets that were before you. ¹³ Ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt become tasteless, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot by men. ¹⁴ Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill can not be hid. ¹⁵ Nor do they light a lamp and put it under the bushel, but on the lamp-stand; and it shines to all that are in the house. ¹⁶ Thus let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven. ¹⁷ Think not that I came to destroy the law, or the prophets; I came not to destroy, but to fulfill. ¹⁸ For verily I say to you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall not pass from the law, till all be fulfilled. ¹⁹ Whoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever shall do and teach them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. ²⁰ For I say to you, that except your righteousness shall exceed that of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. ²¹ Ye heard that it was said to those of old: Thou shalt not kill; and whoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment. ²² But I say to you, that every one who is angry with his brother, without cause, shall be in danger of the judgment; and whoever shall say to his brother, Raca! shall be in danger of the council; and whoever shall say, Thou fool! shall be in danger of hell-fire. ²³ Therefore if thou bringest thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother has aught against thee; ²⁴ leave there thy gift before the altar, and go, first be reconciled to thy brother and then come and offer thy gift. ²⁵ Agree with thine adversary quickly, while thou art in the way with him; lest haply the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. ²⁶ Verily I say to thee, thou shalt not come out thence, till thou hast paid the uttermost farthing. ²⁷ Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt not commit adultery. ²⁸ But I say to you, that every one who looks on a woman, to lust after her, has already committed adultery with her in his heart. ²⁹ And if thy right eye causes thee to offend, pluck it out and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. ³⁰ And if thy right hand causes thee to offend, cut it off and cast it from thee; for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members perish, and not thy whole body be cast into hell. ³¹ And it was said: Whoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement. ³² But I say to you, that whoever shall put away his wife, save for the cause of fornication, makes her commit adultery; and whoever shall marry her when put away, commits adultery. ³³ Again ye heard, that it was said to those of old: Thou shalt not swear falsely, but shalt perform to the Lord thine oaths. ³⁴ But I say to you, swear not at all; neither by heaven, for it is God's throne; ³⁵ nor by the earth, for it is his footstool; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King. ³⁶ Nor shalt thou swear by thy head; because thou canst not make one hair white or black. ³⁷ But let your word be, Yea, yea, Nay, nay; for that which is more than these comes of evil. ³⁸ Ye heard that it was said: An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth. ³⁹ But I say to you, that ye resist not evil; but whoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. ⁴⁰ And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. ⁴¹ And whoever shall compel thee to go one mile, go with him two. ⁴² Give to him that asks of thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not away. ⁴³ Ye heard that it was said: Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and shalt hate thine enemy. ⁴⁴ But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you; ⁴⁵ that ye may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for he causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust. ⁴⁶ For if ye love those who love you, what reward have ye? Do not also the publicans the same? ⁴⁷ And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye that excels? Do not also the heathen thus? ⁴⁸ Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father who is in heaven is perfect.

⁸ But if any one provides not for his own, and especially for those of his own house, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.

⁹ And he spoke this parable to some who trust in themselves that they are righteous, and despise others. ¹⁰ Two men went up into the temple to pray; one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. ¹¹ The Pharisee stood, and prayed thus with himself: God, I thank thee, that I am not as other men, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this publican. ¹² I fast twice in the week; I give tithes of all that I possess. ¹³ And the publican, standing afar off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but smote upon his breast, saying: God be merciful to me, the sinner. ¹⁴ I say to you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other. For every one that exalts himself shall be humbled; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

³ For I say, through the grace given to me, to every one that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God imparted to each one the measure of faith.
