Another verse, 2 Samuel 12:14 says “But because by doing this you have shown utter contempt for the LORD your God, the child who is born to you will die.” This is an example of how bragging can actually lead to bad consequences. For example, Proverbs 27:1 says “Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring.” In other words, don’t be so sure about what will happen tomorrow that you start bragging about it today. The KJV of the Bible has a few things to say about bragging. Luke 6:35 ESVīut love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return, and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High, for he is kind to the ungrateful and the evil. Galatians 6:14 ESVīut far be it from me to boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world. So that, as it is written, “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” James 4:16 ESVĪs it is, you boast in your arrogance. So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin. Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of a gift he does not give. These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage. Let another praise you, and not your own mouth a stranger, and not your own lips. Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches, Proverbs 27:1 ESVĭo not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. For they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and at the street corners, that they may be seen by others. “And when you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be praised by others. “Beware of practicing your righteousness before other people in order to be seen by them, for then you will have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
