G2744–καυχάομαι–kauchaomai

but His reply has been, "My grace suffices for you, for power matures in weakness." Most gladly therefore will I boast of my infirmities rather than complain of them--in order that Christ's power may overshadow me.

καυχήσομαι kauchēsomai “will I boast”

It is foolish of me to write all this, but you have compelled me to do so. Why, you ought to have been my vindicators; for in no respect have I been inferior to these superlatively great Apostles, even though in myself I am nothing.

καυχώμενος· kauchōmenos “boasting;”

For these very men do not really keep the Law of Moses, but they would have you receive circumcision in order that they may glory in *your* bodies.

καυχήσωνται. kauchēsōntai “they may boast.”

But as for me, God forbid that I should glory in anything except the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, upon which the world is crucified to me, and I am crucified to the world.

καυχᾶσθαι kauchasthai “to boast”

so that it may be impossible for any one to boast.

καυχήσηται. kauchēsētai “may boast.”

For we are the true circumcision--we who render to God a spiritual worship and make our boast in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in outward ceremonies:

καυχώμενοι kauchōmenoi “glorying”

Let a brother in humble life rejoice when raised to a higher position;

καυχάσθω kauchasthō “should boast”

But, as the case stands, it is in mere self-confidence that you boast: all such boasting is evil.

καυχᾶσθε kauchasthe “you boast”
