sothat, justas it is written,"LET HIM WHO BOASTS,BOASTIN THE LORD."
Gloryin His holyname;Let the heartof those who seekthe LORDbe glad.
Then say,"Saveus, O Godof our salvation,And gatherus and deliverus from the nations,To givethanksto Your holyname,And gloryin Your praise."
My soulwill makeits boastin the LORD;The humblewill hearit and rejoice.
"You will winnowthem, and the windwill carrythem away, And the stormwill scatterthem; But you will rejoicein the LORD,You will gloryin the HolyOneof Israel.
"In the LORDallthe offspringof IsraelWill be justifiedand will glory."
And you will swear,'As the LORDlives,'In truth,in justiceand in righteousness;Then the nationswill blessthemselves in Him, And in Him they will glory."
For ifAbrahamwas justifiedby works,he hassomething to boast about,but not beforeGod.
Nowthese things,brethren,I have figuratively appliedto myselfand Apollosfor your sakes,sothat in us you may learnnot to exceedwhatis written,sothat nooneof you will become arrogantin behalfof oneagainstthe other.
But HE WHO BOASTSIS TO BOASTIN THE LORD.
