What are the dangers of conceit?

1 Corinthians 10:12If you think you are standing strong, be careful not to fall.

1 Timothy 3:6A church leader must not be a new believer, because he might become proud, and the devil would cause him to fall.

Conceit is sin and causes vulnerability to further temptations.

2 Samuel 22:28You rescue the humble, but your eyes watch the proud and humiliate them.

Proverbs 16:18-19Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall. Better to live humbly with the poor than to share plunder with the proud.

Isaiah 5:21What sorrow for those who are wise in their own eyes and think themselves so clever.

Isaiah 16:6We have heard about proud Moab—about its pride and arrogance and rage. But all that boasting has disappeared.

God stands against the proud. Conceited people may think they are in control, but they will end up humiliated.

Conceited people are all about themselves, yet their pride is vain and their glory is fleeting.
