καυχάομαι

Indeed you bear the name of a Jew, rest on the law, glory in God,

You who glory in the law, do you dishonor God by disobeying the law?

through whom we also have our access by faith into this grace in which we stand. We rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Not only this, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces perseverance;

Not only so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.

that no flesh should boast before God.

that, as it is written, “He who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

Therefore let no one boast in men. For all things are yours,

For who makes you different? And what do you have that you didn’t receive? But if you did receive it, why do you boast as if you had not received it?

If I give away all my goods to feed the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but don’t have love, it profits me nothing.

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.

For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not disappointed. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.

for I know your readiness, of which I boast on your behalf to those of Macedonia, that Achaia has been prepared for the past year. Your zeal has stirred up very many of them.

For even if I boast somewhat abundantly concerning our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for casting you down, I will not be ashamed,

But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

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,

so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

But “he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.”

But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from those who desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we.

I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so, yet receive me as foolish, that I also may boast a little.

Seeing that many boast after the flesh, I will also boast.

If I must boast, I will boast of the things that concern my weakness.

It is doubtless not profitable for me to boast. For I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

On behalf of such a one I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except in my weaknesses.

For if I would desire to boast, I will not be foolish; for I will speak the truth. But I refrain, so that no man may think more of me than that which he sees in me or hears from me.

He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Most gladly therefore I will rather glory in my weaknesses, that the power of Christ may rest on me.

I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.

For even they who receive circumcision don’t keep the law themselves, but they desire to have you circumcised, that they may boast in your flesh.

But far be it from me to boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

not of works, that no one would boast.

For we are the circumcision, who worship God in the Spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh;

But let the brother in humble circumstances glory in his high position;

But now you glory in your boasting. All such boasting is evil.
