Edwards on Pride

Jonathan Edwards on the danger and deceit of pride:

[Pride is] the worst viper that is in the heart...

[Pride is] the greatest disturber of the soul's peace and sweet communion with Christ...

[Pride is] the most hidden, secret and deceitful of all lusts....

What a foolish, silly, miserable, blind, deceived, poor worm am I, when pride works.

--Quoted in Humility: True Greatness, C.J. Mahaney
