To start off, the bible does not to my knowledge specifically use the word or term narcissist or narcissism. However, that doesn’t mean the bible hasn’t addressed this topic. I personally believe that the bible has addressed this topic in several scriptures, which I’m getting ready to list a few of those and give you my analysis.
However, as I mentioned before, I am certainly not an expert or a scholar of the bible. So please, know that before you read this article.

The first scripture that I would like to mention is 2nd timothy 3:2-5, which states:

Have nothing to do with such people.”

I don’t think I know any better adjectives or words to use that would more accurately describe a narcissist or what narcissism looks like.
The next scripture I would like to mention is in Romans 16, which says:
