Shout Out to the Bible: Bragging/Boasting

Bragging Ain't HOT!!!

A thousand people can tell you what they think about bragging. I could tell you what I think about it, but since so many people CLAIM they don't care what nobody else say, lets just hope people care about what the bible say.

BOAST/BOASTING

-To talk with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one's achievements, possessions, or abilities.
-To glorify oneself in speech; talk in a self-admiring way

English Standard Version

Proverbs 27:1-2

Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

James 4:16

As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. 

Jeremiah 9:23

Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches

1 Corinthians 4:7

For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it? 

Proverbs 25:14

Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of a gift he does not give. 

James 4:13-16

Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.
