What is the Biblical definition of pride?
The Biblical definition of pride is really not any different than the dictionary definition of pride. Here is a clear definition of what pride is:
An inordinate self-esteem; an unreasonable feeling of superiority as to one’s talents, beauty, wealth, rank, and so forth; disdainful behavior or treatment; insolence or arrogance of demeanor; haughty bearing. Pride can, more rarely, have the good connotation of a sense of delight or elation arising from some act or possession. Some synonyms of pride are egotism, arrogance, haughtiness.

To take pride in an accomplishment or take pride in your work is not necessarily wrong. The kind of pride that is wrong from the bibles standpoint is the smug feeling of being superior to others or thinking that most people are stupid when compared to yourself. The bible shows the outcome of that kind of pride:
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.” Proverbs 16:18 KJV
Rather than being prideful we should hate that quality as this verse shows:
“The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.” Proverbs 8:13 ASV
Pride can be deceptive. The proud person takes the way most beneficial or profitable for him, but he does not consider things from God’s viewpoint. The bible encourages us to be humble and meek and not to be feeling that we are better than others. We need to realize that we are not the sharpest tool in the shed.
“Do nothing out of contentiousness or out of egotism, but with humility consider others superior to you, 4 as you look out not only for your own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Philippians 2:3,4 NWT
Prideful and haughty people put themselves in opposition to God and that is not a good place to be.
“all of you clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, because God opposes the haughty ones, but he gives undeserved kindness to the humble ones” 1 Peter 5:5 NWT

Actually, there doesn’t appear to be a Biblical definition of pride, just as there is no Biblical definition of understanding, wisdom, or love. The Bible tells us what these words imply, as many of the other comments here about pride point out, but it doesn’t tell us what these words mean.
For example, Proverbs 8:13 tells us that God hates pride and arrogance, and we think of arrogance as pride. But if it were, then there would have been no reason to mention both words in the same verse, unless pride is somehow distinctly different from arrogance. And in fact, it is distinctly different, for ar
Actually, there doesn’t appear to be a Biblical definition of pride, just as there is no Biblical definition of understanding, wisdom, or love. The Bible tells us what these words imply, as many of the other comments here about pride point out, but it doesn’t tell us what these words mean.
For example, Proverbs 8:13 tells us that God hates pride and arrogance, and we think of arrogance as pride. But if it were, then there would have been no reason to mention both words in the same verse, unless pride is somehow distinctly different from arrogance. And in fact, it is distinctly different, for arrogance, along with conceit, indifference, unforgiveness, hate, self-importance, and so on, are all attitudes which develop out of pride. But pride comes first, and pride is not an attitude.
Nor is pride a good thing, because from what I have come to understand as God’s perspective of the word, our modern day usage of the term as a “feeling of deep satisfaction in one’s accomplishments” is incorrect. It’s interesting that the King James translation never uses the word with a good connotation, although more modern translations do. And that makes sense, for just like the rich young ruler in the Bible, pride is what keeps people from Christ. And what better way to do that, than for Satan to blur the meaning of the word.
Some have said that pride is self-worship and enmity against God. And it is, but that’s not a definition. Human beings can only define the words that we create, such as bicycle or psychology. We cannot define the words that God created, such as those mentioned above.
Does God have definitions for the words he created? Yes He does. Then why didn’t He put them in the Bible? I don’t know. Perhaps He wanted us to seek Him for the answers. That’s what I did. And although it took quite some time, He most certainly does have the answers. But there really isn’t room here to go into that discussion.
One last thing. Most people are not consistently arrogant, indifferent, etc. and that’s why we can seldom see our own pride. Those attitudes are the extreme indicators of pride, they develop out of pride, and they are not subtle. But pride itself, is very subtle, and for the most part is hidden, until it’s challenged. If you really want the definition of pride, and be able to see it, then seek God, and be willing to accept what he shows you.
There is a difference between the kind of pride that God hates “The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate”. (Proverbs 8:13) and the kind of pride we can feel about a job well done
“But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.” (Galatians 6:4) or the kind of pride we express over the accomplishment of loved ones “Great is my boldness of speech toward you, great is my glorying of you: I am filled with comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our tribulation.”(2 Corinth

The kind of pride that stems from self-righteousness or conceit is sin, however, and God hates it because it is a hindrance to seeking Him.
Psalm 10:4 explains that the proud are so consumed with themselves that their thoughts are far from God: “The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.”
This kind of haughty pride is the opposite of the spirit of humility that God seeks: “Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 5:3). The “poor in spirit” are those who recognize their spiritual bankruptcy and their inability to come to God aside from His grace. The proud, on the other hand, are so blinded by their pride that they think they have no need of God or, worse, that God should accept them as they are because they deserve His acceptance.
Throughout Scripture we are told about the consequences of pride.
“Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall. Better it is to be of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:18–19
Satan was cast out of heaven because of pride. “How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations! For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit” Isaiah 14:12-15.
“For those who rise up in defiance against God, there is nothing ahead but disaster For I will rise up against them, saith the Lord of hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name, and remnant, and son, and nephew, saith the Lord”. Isaiah 14:22
Pride has kept many people from accepting Jesus the Christ as Savior. Admitting sin and acknowledging sin in our own strength can do nothing to inherit eternal life, which is a constant stumbling block for prideful people. We are not to boast about ourselves; if we want to boast, then we are to proclaim the glories of God. What we say about ourselves means nothing in God’s work. It is what God says about us that makes the difference.
“For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.” 2 Corinthians 10:18
Why is pride so sinful? Pride is giving ourselves the credit for something that God has accomplished. Pride is taking the glory that belongs to God alone and keeping it for ourselves.
Pride is essentially self-worship. Anything we accomplish in this world would not have been possible were it not for God enabling and sustaining us.
“For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?” 1 Corinthians 4:7.
That is why we give God the glory—He alone deserves it.
The Bible often pictures Satan as the source of all pride, so it is a good idea to start there.
Eg — Isaiah 14:13 — Behind the description of the king of Babylon lies the very obvious shadow of Satan which also gives a biblical definition of pride. Note the five ‘I wills’ — “I will” ascend to heaven, “I will” raise my throne above the stars of God. “I will” sit enthroned on the … utmost heights of the sacred mountain. “I will” ascend above the tops of the clouds. “I will” make myself like the Most High.
Also Ezekiel 28 : 11–19 — Behind the description of the fall of the King of Tyre lies the ver

Also Ezekiel 28 : 11–19 — Behind the description of the fall of the King of Tyre lies the very obvious shadow of Satan. Many commentators have believed that behind this passage and the similar one already quoted above in Isaiah 14:12–14 lies a traditional account of the fall of Satan whose image these arrogant monarchs bore. This theory cannot be proved, but both kings were types of Satan, who is anti-Christ the epitome of pride (Daniel 11:36 ; 2 Thessalonians 2:4).
John Uebersax definitely has it right in his answer to this question. It is preferring self will to God’s will. The biblical opposite to pride is revealed in the Lord’s Prayer. What does the third request in the Lord’s Prayer mean? “Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven means: Help us and all people to reject our own wills and to obey your will without any back talk. Your will alone is good.” (Heidelberg Catechism).

Questions like these are what sets the Bible apart from psychology. Regarding the latter, it is humanity’s way of dealing with life’s problems. The widely regarded father of psychology, Wilhem Maximilian Wundt, was not a Christian, though his father was a Lutheran minister.
Conversely, the Bible is the inspired or “God-breathed” Word of God. Forty authors over a period of 2,000 plus years wrote what is now recognized as Scripture.
To cut to the chase, psychology teaches self-esteem principles, whereas the Bible teaches people to deny self.

There are approximately 100 verses in the Bible concerning pride and not all pride is a bad thing. I take your question to mean you are seeking the answer to the type of pride that is sinful.
The short and not so sweet definition or meaning of the pride we should avoid is when we put yourselves before God and take the credit for something that in all actuality He (the Lord) should get the credit for. Essentially, we are worshiping self rather than God.
In the end prideful person’s boast of their accomplishments rather than giving credit where credit is due, God, for it is He alone who gives us the abilities to do what we do. Therefore, if you want to brag, brag or boast in God and do not become haughty. I hope this helps answer your question.
Pride is easier to recognize than to define, easier to recognize in others than in oneself. Many biblical words describe this concept, each with its own emphasis. Some of the synonyms for pride include arrogance, presumption, conceit, self-satisfaction, boasting, and high-mindedness.
what I find the most common form of pride now days. Presumption………presumption is as iniquity unto the Lord.
Anyone who assumes they know things yet do not, are unable to change behavior pattern. Because they are high-minded know- it-all's.

But its not pride to boast about being good at something if you really are. If your the fastest person on the track team, that would be a fact not a boast. Pride is generalized with making unsubstantiated claims IE boasting with out merit to support ones claim.
Bible teaches us to honor those who deserve honor.
Pride tops the list of deadly sins, and for good reason.
The father, son and holy spirit is a relationship of service - one serving the others.
What it is to know god is to serve others. Jesus’ death on the cross was not a reaction, but an example of what God is like all along.
Jeremiah 22.16 is one of the few direct passages where is says what it is to know God:
‘He defended the cause of the poor and needy, and so all went well.
Is that not what it means to know me?”
declares the Lord.’
We’re made from dust, yet we’re also made in God’s image, and Satan’s pride stopped him from serving something m

Pride stops us from following what is at the core of the bible - service to others as well as the ability to ask for forgiveness or to forgive others.
The biblical concept of pride is different than its meaning in common modern usage — and understanding the distinction is vital.
In the Bible pride does not mean simple arrogance or ostentation.
Instead it means hubris: preferring self-will to God’s will.
Its polar opposite is called in the Bible following God.
Biblical pride is overcome when we can say with Jesus, “Thy will be done.”
At a symbolic level, Jesus’ crucifixion demonstrates complete submission to God’s will — i.e., the final conquering of self-will/pride. This is arguably the most important message of the Bible.
The definition of any word is determined by its context. All words have basic meanings, derived from their etymology and usage, but their continued use and growing associations may cause the word to take on different nuances.
The Bible was written/compiled over a course of centuries by different authors. Each one who used the word “pride” may have had a different aspect in view.
“noun: a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one's own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired.”

There's two concepts for our English word pride. And both are in the Bible.
It's good to be proud of doing a good job because even when God “rested” on the 7th day the context is looking at His work with joy and contentment rather than sleeping
But thinking you're better than others is pride God hates.
ANSWER: Know the difference: 1.) Spiritual pride is bad (Not loving God, first, and then loving your neighbor as thyself), and 2.) Pride in your ancestors, family, country, school, parents, job, etc., is a good thing! How are you doing today, friend?
