Temptation to Spiritual Pride

Scripture

KJV

For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?

ESV

For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?

1 Corinthians 4:7

Poem

Oft have I turned my eyes within,
And brought to mind some latent sin;
But pride, the vice I most detest,
Still lurks securely in my breast.
