Arrogance
James 4:16-17
But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
NKJV
Prov 8:13
The fear of the LORD is to hate evil;
Pride and arrogance and the evil way
And
the perverse mouth I hate.
NKJV
Prov 21:24
A proud and haughty man--"Scoffer" is his name;
He acts with arrogant
pride.
NKJV
Isa 13:11
I will punish the world for its evil,
And the wicked for their iniquity;
I will halt the arrogance of the proud,
And will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.
NKJV
Rom 11:20-21
..... Do not be arrogant, but be afraid. 21 For if God did not spare the natural
branches, he will not spare you either.
(NIV)
Arrogance is a trait that we find can be "transferred" from generation to generation. It could be a spiritual thing or a learned trait (or a combination of both). Many people (I would say MOST) have some amount of arrogance but don't even consider such a thought.
