What does the Bible say about boasting in man?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that we should not boast in man, but only in the Lord Jesus Christ, as given in 1 Corinthians 1:31.

In 1 Corinthians 1:19-31, the Apostle Paul emphasizes that all human boasting is vanity and sin; only the Lord Jesus Christ deserves our glory. Paul states, 'What do you have that you did not receive?' implying that all blessings and attributes we possess are gifts from God. Therefore, any pride in ourselves or others is misguided. The context shows the Corinthian church was divided by allegiances to various leaders, which Paul rebukes, redirecting them to find their glory solely in Christ, who saves and sustains His people.
