What we need to know that evil behavior originates in the heart of man: Jesus motivates believers to live righteously by emphasizing that such living comes from the heart through faith with love and in trust, more than through observance of an external code of ethics.
Isaiah 2:17 -The arrogance of man will be brought low and human pride humbled; the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
Proverbs 16:18 - Pride goes before destruction, and haughtiness before a fall.
Proverbs 13:20 - Walk with the wise and become wise; associate with fools and get in trouble.
