Some of the branches are broken off. You, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them. Therefore you partake of the root and fatness of the olive tree with them. Do not boast against the branches. But if you boast, you do not support the root, but the root supports you. You will say, The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in. read more.

Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the good news: not with wisdom of words, lest the stake of Christ be emptied of its effect. For the preaching of the stake is foolishness to those who perish. It is the power of God to us who are saved. It is written: I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent. (Isaiah 29:14) read more.
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? This is the wisdom of God that the world through its wisdom did not come to know God. God was well pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe. Indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search for wisdom. We preach Christ impaled. It is a stumbling block to the Jews and foolishness to the nations! To those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, it is Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. For the foolishness of God is wiser than men and the weakness of God is stronger than men. Consider your calling, brothers. Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. Instead God chose the foolish things of the world to confuse (shame) the wise. God chose the weak things of the world to confuse (shame) the things that are mighty. God also chose the base things of the world, and things which are despised, yes, and things which are not, to bring to nothing things that are. No human being should boast before God. It is because of him you are united with Christ Jesus, who became wisdom to us from God, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption. Let it be as it is written, He that boasts, let him boast in Jehovah! (Jeremiah 9:24)

Brothers I have applied these things to myself and to Apollos for your sakes. That way you might learn the value of the saying: Do not go beyond the things written. None of you should be arrogant (self-important) against one another. For who made you superior to (different than) another? What do you have that you did not receive? If you did receive it, why do you brag, as if you did not receive it?
For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves. But they measure themselves by themselves, and compare themselves with themselves. They are without understanding. But we will not boast beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province that God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even to you. For we are not overstretching ourselves though we did not reach to you. We reached out to you with the good news of Christ. read more.
We did not boast beyond our assignment in other men's labors. Having hope that, as your faith grows, we shall be made great among you according to our territory for further abundance. Let us preach the good news to the parts beyond you. Let us not boast in someone else's territory in concerning things ready for our hand. But he who boasts let him boast in Jehovah! (Jeremiah 9:24) It is not he that commends himself that is approved. It is the one whom Jehovah commends. (Proverbs 29:26)

By grace (Greek: charis, divine favor, loving-kindness) you have been saved through faith. It is not from you. It is the gift from God! It is not the result of works. So no man should boast.

so they should live forever and never see the grave (pit) (destruction). One can see that wise people die, that foolish and stupid people meet the same end. They leave their wealth to others.
