so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.”

so that no one can boast in his presence.

So then, no more boasting about mere mortals! For everything belongs to you,

For who concedes you any superiority? What do you have that you did not receive? And if you received it, why do you boast as though you did not?

If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.
