People think pride is a sin, but it depends.

Pride from exalting the self, feeling superiority over others, claiming glory for oneself is absolutely sinful.

But loving what god has entrusted to you? Valuing your role and responsibility is virtuous.

I love when I meet people who tell me their kids are the best kids on earth.

Same when I meet someone who is proud of their country, their marriage, their job. Etc…

Loving things according to their proper place, loving god supremely, feeling gratitude for your roles and responsibilities is rightly ordered.

It’s good to have pride in that sense.

Show pride in your work, your skill, your children. Show some pride in yourself, as all people should, humans are amazing. But elevating it above that, internalizing it, and taking pride in things you have no hand in creating or maintaining and making that your guiding principle in life is a poor path to take.

Yeah. That's quite a lot of what the first commandment is about.
