54 ENVY, DAUGHTER OF PRIDE When pride has crept into a servant of God, straightaway envy is to be found there too. The proud person cannot help being envious. Envy is the daughter of pride; but this mother is unable to be barren; wherever she is, she immediately gives birth…. And so it’s not for nothing that the apostle says to all the members of Christ, Each thinking the other superior to themselves, and outdoing one another in mutual respect (Phil 2:3; Rom 12:10). Indeed, if your thoughts run on “ The proud person cannot help being envious. Envy is the daughter of pride; but this mother is unable to be barren; wherever she is, she immediately gives birth. ”
