That, according as it is written ( Jeremiah 9:23Jeremiah 9:24 ) .
He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord; not in his own wisdom, riches, and strength; but in Christ, as his wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption.
29
to prevent any mortal man from boasting in the presence of God.
30
But you--and it is all God's doing--are in Christ Jesus: He has become for us a wisdom which is from God, consisting of righteousness and sanctification and deliverance;
31
in order that it may be as Scripture says, "He who boasts--let his boast be in the Lord."
