Pride Precedes a Fall
Commentators unanimously agree that this verse is a direct warning against spiritual pride. The person most at risk of falling is the one who 'thinks he stands' securely in his own strength or spiritual status. Scholars like Albert Barnes note this danger is highest during moments of spiritual success, when we are tempted to become less vigilant. True security is found not in our own strength, but in a humble dependence on God.
