'Boasting' in the Bible

For if I have boasted to him at all concerning you, I was not disappointed. But just as everything we ever said to you was true, so our boasting [about you] to Titus has proved true also.

Therefore, show these men, in the sight of the churches, the proof of your love and our reason for being proud of you.

What I say in this confident boasting, I say not as the Lord would [with His authority], but foolishly.
