Love is not Proud. The NKJV states that: "Love is not puffed up." The NASB says: "Love is not arrogant." Pride is defined as a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity, importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing or conduct. It is haughtiness; conceit; vanity. Pride is all about the "I" or ego. "I" is at the center of 'pride' and also at the center of 'sin'. Pride is about 'what I want' and 'when I want it' no matter who is inconvenienced nor who is hurt by it. Love is not that way. Love cares about others first. Love is not self-centered. Love is not proud.
