Pride is the idolatry of the self. It is the nature of pride as competition with God – the displacing of God by the self at the center – that has led many Christian thinkers through the ages to regard pride (superbia) as the mother sin and the essential element in all sin.

Look as you may, you'll find no verse numbers, or chapters, in a Bible
until relatively recently (circa 450 years ago), concurrent with the
developement of printing.

While versification is a great tool for locating sections quickly, I
find it an annoying distraction when reading what I have located.
