But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became a partaker of the root and excellence of the olive, boast not against the branches; but if you boast, you bear not the root, but the root you. You will say then, The branches were broken off that I might be grafted in. read more.
Well; they were broken off by unbelief, and you stand by faith. Be not high-minded, but fear; for if God spared not the natural branches, perhaps he will not spare you.

For Christ sent me not to baptize but to preach the good news, not with a wisdom of speech lest the cross of Christ should be without effect. For the word of the cross is to the lost foolishness, but to the saved the power of God. For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the intelligent. read more.
Where is the wise? where the scribe? where the disputer of this life? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For since, in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, God was pleased by the foolishness of preaching to save those that believe; and since the Jews seek signs, and the Greeks seek wisdom, we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews indeed an offense, and to the gentiles foolishness, but to the called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and wisdom of God; for the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For you see your calling, brothers, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble [are called]; but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and the weak things of the world has God chosen to put to shame the mighty, and the ignoble things of the world and things that are despised has God chosen, and things that are not, to destroy things that are, that no flesh may glory in the sight of God. But you are of him in Christ Jesus, who has become to us wisdom from God, and righteousness, and sanctification and redemption, that as it is written, He that glories, let him glory in the Lord.

I have applied these things figuratively, brothers, to myself and Apollos on your account, that you may learn by us not to [go beyond] what is written, that you may not be puffed up for one against another. For who made you to differ? And what have you that you did not receive? And if you received, why do you boast as one that receives not?
For we dare not judge or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves; but they, measuring themselves with themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise. But we will not boast of things not measured, but according to the measure of the rule which God has given us, to come even to you. For we do not stretch ourselves out too far, as if we had not come to you, for we came even to you with the gospel of Christ; read more.
not boasting of things unmeasured in the labors of others, but having a hope, your faith being increased, that we shall be magnified among you according to our rule abundantly, to preach the gospel in the parts beyond you, not to boast of things prepared by another's rule. But let him that glories glory in the Lord; for not he that commends himself is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

For by grace are you saved through the faith; and that not of you; [it is] the gift of God; not of works, that no one may boast;
