1 Corinthians 1:31

so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ¹ 

1Ch 16:10,35; Ps 105:3; Isa 41:16; Isa 45:25; Jer 4:2; Jer 9:23,24; 2Co 10:17; Ga 6:13,14; Php 3:3

¹ 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.
