1 Corinthians 1:30

28 He chose the lowly and despised things of the world, and the things that are not, to nullify the things that are,

29 so that no one may boast in His presence.

It is because of Him that you are in Christ Jesus, who has become for us wisdom from God: our righteousness, holiness, and redemption.

31 Therefore, as it is written: “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
