But if you call yourself a Jew and rely on the law and boast in God

Who boast in the law, by the transgression of the law you dishonor God!

For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

through whom also we have [obtained] access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

And not only [this], but we also boast in our afflictions, [because we] know that affliction produces patient endurance,

do not boast against the branches. But if you boast against [them], you do not support the root, but the root [supports] you.
