So that no flesh should boast before God.

In order that, even as it is written - He that boasteth, in the Lord, let him boast.

For who maketh thee to differ? and what hast thou which thou didst not receive? But, if thou didst even receive it, why dost thou boast, as though thou hadst not received it?

Unseemly, is your boast! Know ye not that, a little leaven, doth leaven, the whole of the lump?

I, however, have not used any of these things; and have not written these things, in order that, so it should be done, in my case; for it were, good for me, rather to die than - - my boast, shall, no man, make void!

And, though I morsel out all my goods, - and though I deliver up my body, that I may boast, and have not, love, I am profited, nothing.
