Boasting » Spiritual
And, if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them, and became a joint-partaker of the root and of the fatness of the Olive tree; boast not against the branches. But, if you boast, it is not you that bear the root; but the root, you. You will say, then, "The branches were broken off, that I might be grafted in." read more.
Well; by their unbelief they were broken off, but you have been standing by faith. Do not cherish lofty thoughts; but fear. For, if God spared not the natural branches, neither will He spare you.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to proclaim the Gospel; not in wisdom of speech, lest the cross of Christ should be made void. For the word of the cross is to those who are perishing, foolishness; but to those who are being saved, it is the power of God. For it has been written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning will I set aside." read more.
Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this age? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For, since in the wisdom of God, the world through its wisdom knew not God, God was pleased through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe; seeing that both Jews ask for signs, and Greeks seek after wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified; to the Jews, a stumbling-block, and to the gentiles foolishness; but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye behold your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are chosen; but God chose the foolish things of the world, that He might put to shame the wise; and God chose the weak things of the world, that He might put to shame the things that are strong; and the base things of the world, and things despised, did God choose, and the things that are not, that He might bring to nought the things that are; that no flesh should glory before God. But of Him are ye in Christ Jesus, Who was made to us wisdom from God, also righteousness, and holiness, and redemption; that, even as it has been written, "He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord."

Now these things, brethren, I have, in a figure, transferred to myself and Apollos for your sakes; that in us ye may learn not to go beyond the things which have been written; that no one be puffed up for the one against the other. For who makes you to differ? And what do you have, that you did not receive? But, if you did receive it, why are you boasting, as if you did not receive it?
For we are not bold to judge ourselves among, or to compare ourselves with, some of those who commend themselves; but they measuring themselves among themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding. But we will not glory beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the limit which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even to you. For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as if not reaching to you; for we came even as far as to you in the Gospel of Christ; read more.
not glorying beyond our measure in other men's labors; but, having hope that, as your faith increases, we shall be enlarged among you according to our limit to further abundance, so as to proclaim the Gospel in the regions beyond you, not to glory in another's limit in the things made ready to our hand. But he that glories let him glory in the Lord; for not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

For by grace ye have been saved through faith: and this, not of yourselves, it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any one should boast;
