What does the Bible say about glorying in ourselves?

In 1 Corinthians 4:6-7, Paul encourages believers to understand that they are nothing apart from God's grace. He asks rhetorical questions to highlight that all distinctions we might claim come from what we have received from God. When we glory in ourselves or others, we neglect the reality that it is God who has made us to differ from others. This self-glorifying attitude leads to pride, division, and strife among believers, which Paul rebukes throughout his letters. The focus must remain on Christ and His work, for it is through Him alone that we are justified and sanctified, not through our own efforts.
