Proverbs 13:10
Excerpted from: Faith (Part Six)

Another way of stating this is that only through pride does contention last. Now remember we are still looking at the effects of pride because very frequently pride is difficult to detect. God has shown in His Word how to detect it. You detect it by looking at the fruits. How do you know false prophets? By their fruits. It is what they produce.

Only through pride does contention last. What he is saying here is that a quarrel that could be easily settled if both parties were humble continues indefinitely when parties are arrogant. Why? Because pride plows the way. It lights the way for contempt for the other's opinion. What it does is it inflames passion and it wounds feelings. Because of the competitiveness, which is also an aspect of pride, the person feels they have to fight back. And so it goes back and forth.
