2 Corinthians 10:17
Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
BSB
ASV
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
KJV
But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
Keep thyself pure as the habitation of God. Thou art the temple of Christ. Thou art the instrument of the Spirit. Thou knowest in what way I have brought thee up. Though I am the least of men, do thou seek to follow me, be thou an imitator of my conduct. I do not glory in the world, but in the Lord. I exhort Hero, my son; "but let him that glorieth, glory in the Lord."
But he that glorieth - He that boasts. Whatever may be the occasion of his boasting, whether in planting churches or in watering them; whether in his purposes, plans, toils, or success. Paul himself did not deem it improper on some occasions to boast 2Co 11:16; 2Co 12:5, but it was not of his own power, attainments, or righteousness. He was disposed to trace all to the Lord, and to regard him as the source of all blessing and all success.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
