1 Corinthians 5:6

6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?

1 Corinthians 9:15

15 But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me, for I would rather die than allow anyone to deprive me of this boast.

1 Corinthians 9:16

16 For when I preach the gospel, I cannot boast, since I am compelled to preach. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!
