Why boast thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? The loving kindness of God [is] continual.
Those who trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches, none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him (for the redemption of their life is costly, and it fails forever), read more.

They prate, they speak arrogantly. All the workers of iniquity boast themselves.
And if some of the branches were broken off, and thou, being a wild olive tree, were grafted in among them, and became a joint partaker of the root of the fatness of the olive tree, do not boast against the branches. But if thou boast, thou do not bear the root, but the root thee. Thou will therefore say, Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in. read more.
Correct! They were broken off for their unbelief, and thou stand by thy faith. Be not high-minded but fear, for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps neither will he spare thee.

For Christ sent me not to immerse, but to preach the good-news, not in wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ would be emptied. For the message of the cross is of course, foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is a power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and I will frustrate the understanding of those of understanding. read more.
Where is a wise man? Where is a scholar? Where is a researcher of this age? Did not God make foolish the wisdom of this world? For since in the wisdom of God the world did not know God through its wisdom, it pleased God through the foolishness of preaching to save those who believe. And because Jews demand a sign and Greeks search for wisdom but we proclaim Christ crucified, truly to Jews a stumbling-block and to Gentiles foolishness. But to them, to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ is the power of God and the wisdom of God. Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weak thing of God is stronger than men. For notice your calling, brothers, that not many are wise according to flesh, not many powerful, not many eminent. But God chose the foolish things of the world, so that he might humiliate the wise, and God chose the weak things of the world, so that he might humiliate the powerful. And God chose the common things of the world, and the disdained things, and the things that are not, so that he might make useless the things that are, so that no flesh may boast before God. But ye are his, in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification and redemption, so that, just as it is written, He who boasts, let him boast in Lord.

Now these things, brothers, I applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us ye might learn not to think above that which is written, so that ye may not be puffed up, one over the one against the other. For who makes thee different? And what have thou that thou did not receive? And also if thou received it, why do thou boast as not having received it?
For we dare not classify or compare ourselves to some of those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves to themselves, do not understand. But we will not boast in things immeasurable, but according to the measure of the standard that God apportioned to us, of a measure to reach even as far as you. For it is not as not reaching for you. We overextend ourselves. For we even reached as far as you in the good-news of the Christ, read more.
not boasting in things immeasurable, in other men's labors, but having hope of your faith growing in you to be enlarged according to our measure for abundance, in order to preach the good-news beyond you, not to boast in another measure, in things prepared. But he who boasts should boast in Lord. For he who commends himself, that man is not approved, but whom the Lord commends.

For ye are saved by grace through faith, and this a gift of God, not from you, not from works, so that not any man may boast.
Corruption » Physical decomposition » After death
In the sweat of thy face thou shall eat bread, till thou return to the ground, for out of it thou were taken. For thou are dust, and to dust thou shall return.
and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
if I have said to corruption, Thou are my father, to the worm, My mother, and my sister,
For thou will not leave my soul to Sheol, nor will thou allow thy holy man to see corruption.
Because thou will not leave my soul in Hades, nor will thou give thy Holy man to see decay.
Thou hide thy face, they are troubled. Thou take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.
I went down to the bottoms of the mountains. The earth with its bars [closed] upon me forever. Yet thou have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.
Having foreseen this, he spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul was not left behind in Hades, nor did his flesh see decay.
And because he raised him from the dead, no longer going to return to decay, he has spoken this way: I will give to you the faithful holy things of David. Therefore also he says in another, Thou will not give thy Holy man to see decay. For indeed David, who served his own generation in the plan of God, became asleep, and was added near his fathers, and saw decay. read more.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
But he whom God raised up saw no decay.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in the perishable, it is raised in imperishability.
Now this I affirm, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit imperishability.
Folly » What is folly
He who gives answer before he hears, it is folly and shame to him.
Those who trust in their wealth, and boast themselves in the multitude of their riches, none can by any means redeem his brother, nor give to God a ransom for him (for the redemption of their life is costly, and it fails forever), read more.
that he should still live always, that he should not see corruption. For he shall see it. Wise men die. The fool and the brutish alike perish, and leave their wealth to others. Their inward thought is [that] their houses [are] forever, their dwelling-places to all generations. They call their lands after their own names. Even a man in splendor does not abide. He is like the beasts that perish. This their way is their folly. Yet after them men approve their sayings. Selah.

And Jesus said to his disciples, Truly I say to you, that a rich man will enter into the kingdom of the heavens difficultly.
