'Proud' in the Bible

We are not recommending ourselves to you again but are giving you a reason to be proud of us, so that you can answer those who are proud of outward things rather than inward character.

I have great confidence in you. I am very proud of you. I am very much encouraged. I am overjoyed in all our troubles.

and every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God, taking every thought captive in order to obey the Messiah.
