1 CORINTHIANS 1:31 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”
Therefore, as it is written: 'Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord' — the citation is from Jeremiah 9:24, Paul's capstone. Boasting (kauchē) is not forbidden but redirected: boast exclusively in the Lord. This verse encapsulates chapters 1-4: the Corinthians must cease internal boasting in human teachers and make the singular object of pride God himself. All wisdom, power, status, and honor flow from him alone.
