1st John

2:16


“For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.”

What are the three temptations that we all go through in this life?  They all revolve around lust and pride.  I think we are all familiar with lust.  We are told to see no evil yet some people see evil everyday and think nothing of it.  But what is pride?  What does it mean to be prideful?  Pride is arrogance, vanity, self-love, self-importance...  They always say "that pride goes before a fall."
