5 Bible Verses about Bragging

"Therefore, when you give money to help poor people, do not blow a trumpet in front of you [i.e., to call attention to it] as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and streets. They do this in order to win praise from people. It is true when I say to you, they have [already] received their reward.

So, no one should boast about [the knowledge or position of] people. For all things belong to you,

But if you people have bitter jealousy and rivalry in your hearts, do not be arrogant [over it] and deny the truth.

But, as it is, you people are boasting in your arrogance [and] all such boasting is evil.

These people are gripers and complainers, living according to their own [evil] desires, whose mouths speak boastfully, and who show partiality [toward certain people] to gain some advantage.
