1 Corinthians 1:31

31 so that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ^{▼▼ A quotation from Jer 9:24. The themes of Jer 9 have influenced Paul’s presentation in vv. 26–31. Jeremiah calls upon the wise, the strong, and the wealthy not to trust in their resources but in their knowledge of the true God - and so to boast in the Lord. Paul addresses the same three areas of human pride.}
