What does the Bible say about Paul's boasting?

Answered in 1 source

Paul's boasting in his ministry is a declaration of God's work and authority in his life, emphasizing that true glory belongs to the Lord.

In 2 Corinthians 11, Paul addresses the criticism he faced from the Corinthian church, who questioned his apostleship and the gospel he preached. He emphasizes that he will not boast of things beyond his measure but will speak to the work God did through him. In verse 30, he states, 'If I must boast, I will boast of the things that show my weakness.' This reflects the biblical principle that glory should rightfully go to God, as Paul’s accomplishments are not his own but are evidence of God's grace and power through him.
