Answer & Explanation
✓ By showing that boasting is contrary to salvation.
"I have applied all these things to myself and Apollos for your benefit, brothers, that you may learn by us not to go beyond what is written, that none of you may be puffed up in favor of one against another. For who sees anything different in you? What do you have that you did not receive? If then you received it, why do you boast as if you did not receive it?" 1 Corinthians 4:6-7 In essence, Paul shows that boasting is contrary to Christian faith, and therefore, boasting about one's faith is self-contradictory.
