12 Bible Verses about Boasting In God

Thus says the Lord, “Let not the one who is wise and skillful boast in his insight; let not the one who is mighty and powerful boast in his strength; let not the one who is rich boast in his [temporal satisfactions and earthly] abundance;

so then, as it is written [in Scripture], “He who boasts and glories, let him boast and glory in the Lord.”

However, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

My soul makes its boast in the Lord;
The humble and downtrodden will hear it and rejoice.

In God we have boasted all the day long,
And we will praise and give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.

But we will remember and trust in the name of the Lord our God.

In Christ Jesus, then, I have found [legitimate] reason for boasting in things related [to my service] to God.

But if you bear the name “Jew” and rely on the Law [for your salvation] and boast in [your special relationship to] God,

so that your rejoicing for me may overflow in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

but Christ is faithful as a Son over His [Father’s] house. And we are His house if we hold fast our confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ].

for we [who are born-again have been reborn from above—spiritually transformed, renewed, set apart for His purpose and] are the true circumcision, who worship in the Spirit of God and glory and take pride and exult in Christ Jesus and place no confidence [in what we have or who we are] in the flesh—

But far be it from me to boast [in anything or anyone], except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.
