(Eph 6:9) “And, ye masters, do the same things unto them, forbearing threatening: knowing that your Master also is in heaven; neither is there respect of persons with him.” The Lord NEVER speaks of pride in a positive way. Pride is of the devil, and is part of the fallen nature. Pride thinks itself better than others, seen in the most minuscule of ways. For example, one will think to themselves that another has a terrible sense of style; or taste in cars, etc. That is pride. Here, one considers self more important, superior, than one’s servant. Not in the sight of God! The master in Christ’s kingdom serves the servant.
