sn A quotation from Jer 9:24. The themes of Jer 9 have influenced Paul’s presentation in vv. 26-31. Jeremiah calls upon the wise, the strong, and the wealthy not to trust in their resources but in their knowledge of the true God – and so to boast in the Lord. Paul addresses the same three areas of human pride.

tn Grk “so then, let no one boast in men.”

tn Grk “the one who is weak…the brother for whom Christ died,” but see note on the word “Christian” in 5:11.

tn This may be an indirect middle, “destroys himself.”

tn Grk “brothers.” See note on the phrase “brothers and sisters” in 1:10.
