Boast Only in the LORD

Therefore, as it is written: “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” ~ 1 Corinthians 1:31 (NIV)

Boast in the Lord

17 But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. ~ 2 Corinthians 10:17-18 (NIV)

Hold Your Tongue

Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

~ James 3:5-6
