Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,

Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?

Boast not against the branches. But if thou boastest, thou bearest not the root, but the root thee.

For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of: for necessity is laid upon me; and woe is to me, if I preach not the gospel!

For I know the forwardness of your mind, for which I boast of you to them of Macedonia, that Achaia was ready a year ago; and your zeal hath incited very many.

For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed:

But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you.

To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.

I say again, Let no man think me a fool; if otherwise, yet as a fool receive me, that I may boast myself a little.

Not by works, lest any man should boast.
