1 | Boast in the Lord About? | 2 Cor 10:17 | bowler | 206746 | ||
I have seen this verse twice now, once here and once in 1 Corinthians 1:31. Why does Paul say this in both instances? Are they related? Is this about something he is not talking about very plainly that is happening to him? One setting seems to be not being willing to make his boast in wisdom, nobleness, and might, the other setting seems to have to do with building the gospel on his own foundation and not on another's. blessings abound, bowler |

2 | Boast in the Lord About? | 2 Cor 10:17 | Searcher56 | 206791 | ||
Scripture ... "but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD who exercises lovingkindness, justice and righteousness on earth; for I delight in these things," declares the LORD" (Jer 9:24) ... Paul was thinking abou this passage. Searcher |

3 | Boast in the Lord About? | 2 Cor 10:17 | bowler | 206817 | ||
Searcher Oh most excellent indeed, indeed! I never saw that. I completely did not look for the referrence in the column and this went right by me. I am really impressed with this because of the direct reference before this verse in Jeremiah becuase Paul also uses that! Jeremiah 9:23 Thus says the Lord, "Let not a wise man boast of his wisdom, and let not the mighty boast of his might, let not the rich boast of his riches. Paul as you said is using these verses of Jeremiah in his thinking, absolutely - in 1 Corinthians he uses both Jeremiahs 9:23, and 24 for a whole two chapters talking about the folly of wisdom and of boasting in the Lord. I asked someone out here what they thought about this and they came up with something I never noticed - Paul is answering accusations made about his ability to preach as if he is not very good at it and as if he is not wise, as if he is a fool speaking to the wise. So he gives an answer to the Corinthians who have been hearing this arrogant claim made against him. Thank you. blesssings abound, bowler |
