2 Corinthians 1:12-14

¹²Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God's grace. ¹³For we do not write you anything you cannot read or understand. And I hope that, ¹⁴as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Quick Notes

Sometimes we feel that we have to impress people with what we have accomplished, but the reality is that people are attracted to grace. Grace compels people to move forward into God's holiness. That is something impressive indeed.
