General Scriptures:
Romans 3:27 Where is
boasting then? It is excluded. By what law? of works? Nay:
but by the law of faith.
2Corinthians 10:12-18
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare
ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they
measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves
among themselves, are not wise. But we will not boast of
things without our measure, but according to the measure of
the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to
reach even unto you. For we stretch not ourselves beyond our
measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come
as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: Not
boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other
men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is
increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our
rule abundantly, To preach the gospel in the regions beyond
you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made
ready to our hand. But he that glorieth, let him glory in
the Lord. For not he that commendeth himself is approved,
but whom the Lord commendeth.
