The Bible shows how pride presents itself in a variety of ways.
Proverbs 16:18: Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Fear is a state of uneasiness or suffering brought on by apprehension about harm to one’s future. Throughout the Bible, there are several examples of fearful situations. However, it proclaims that only God is to be feared and that human fear might be an opportunity to grow in faith in him.
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. 1 John 4:18
And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. Mark 11:25.
Hypocrisy – An outward appearance masking a hidden truth. Especially in concerns of faith, the Bible condemns hypocrisy. Believers should show their devotion to God through their words and deeds, as well as their internal motivation.
