Pride is a very bad thing. A Christian can feel superior when he sees another Christian in trouble or in *sin. But nobody is better than anybody else. Even the *apostles in Jerusalem were not more important than other people (2:6). People may feel proud when they act like judges of other people’s behaviour. But they may feel very bad when they compare themselves to someone else. That is why Christians should compare themselves only to God’s standards. They should be grateful for the ways that God has helped them. And they should be happy with what they have achieved.
