1 Corinthians 1:19For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.”1 Corinthians 1:20Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?1 Corinthians 1:21For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not know Him, God was pleased through the foolishness of what was preached to save those who believe.1 Corinthians 1:22Jews demand signs and Greeks search for wisdom,1 Corinthians 1:23but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles,1 Corinthians 1:24but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.1 Corinthians 1:25For the foolishness of God is wiser than man’s wisdom, and the weakness of God is stronger than man’s strength.1 Corinthians 1:26Brothers, consider the time of your calling: Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were powerful; not many were of noble birth.1 Corinthians 1:27But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.1 Corinthians 1:28He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,1 Corinthians 1:29so that no one may boast in His presence.1 Corinthians 1:30It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.1 Corinthians 1:31Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”1 Corinthians 4:6Brothers, I have applied these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, so that you may learn from us not to go beyond what is written. Then you will not take pride in one man over another.1 Corinthians 4:7For who makes you so superior? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you did receive it, why do you boast as though you did not?2 Corinthians 10:12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.2 Corinthians 10:13We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.2 Corinthians 10:14We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.2 Corinthians 10:15Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,2 Corinthians 10:16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.2 Corinthians 10:17Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”2 Corinthians 10:18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.Ephesians 2:8For it is by grace you have been saved through faith, and this not from yourselves; it is the gift of God,Ephesians 2:9not by works, so that no one can boast.James 3:5In the same way, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it boasts of great things. Consider how small a spark sets a great forest ablaze.James 4:16As it is, you boast in your proud intentions. All such boasting is evil.
