In the text
Romans 2:17Behold, thou art called a Jew, and restest in the law, and makest thy boast of God,Romans 2:23Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonourest thou God?Romans 5:2By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.Romans 5:3And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience;Romans 5:11And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement.1 Corinthians 1:29That no flesh should glory in his presence.1 Corinthians 1:31That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.1 Corinthians 3:21Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are yours;1 Corinthians 4:7For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it?2 Corinthians 5:12For we commend not ourselves again unto you, but give you occasion to glory on our behalf, that ye may have somewhat to answer them which glory in appearance, and not in heart.
