Selfishness is rooted in pride! Pride involves the exaltation of self over God and others

Igh, you stated "cowardice and slothfulness or dead faith" are not rooted in pride. Remember, "pride" includes putting yourself before God and others. Cowardice is a great example of that because your goal is to protect self and not stand for or do what is right. Slothfulness reflects this as well because, again, you are not doing what you should do because you don't want to, so it's about you (pride). Dead faith is a willful refusal to believe God and/or live for God so you can do what you want, again putting self first.
Smbga, if you can tell me how to get rid of pride I would appreciate it, but as long as we are in this sinful flesh ALL will struggle with it in some way shape or form

I have contemplated the "pride and "sin" issue based on the theological conclusion of some that "all sin is rooted in pride". I have yet to find a sin that is NOT rooted pride. If anyone knows of any sins that are not rooted in pride, please post them.
