'Boasting' in the Bible

For our boasting is this: the testimony of our conscience, that in holiness and sincerity of God, not in fleshly wisdom but in the grace of God we behaved ourselves in the world, and more abundantly toward you.

as also you acknowledged us in part, that we are your boasting, even as you also are ours, in the day of our Lord Jesus.

For we are not commending ourselves to you again, but speak as giving you occasion of boasting on our behalf, that you may have something to answer those who boast in appearance, and not in heart.

Therefore show the proof of your love to them in front of the assemblies, and of our boasting on your behalf.

But I have sent the brothers that our boasting on your behalf may not be in vain in this respect, that, just as I said, you may be prepared,

so that I won't by any means, if there come with me any of Macedonia and find you unprepared, we (to say nothing of you) should be disappointed in this confident boasting.

not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia.

That which I speak, I don't speak according to the Lord, but as in foolishness, in this confidence of boasting.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for in nothing was I inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
