Jas 4:16
But now you glory gloat[a] in your boasting (false) conceits.[b] All such boasting gloating[c] is evil impious.
———
a Gr. καυχάομαι.
b Gr. ἀλαζονεία. That is, self-deceptions (4:13-14).
c That is, gloating in your own abilities. See Deut 8:17-18a: Be careful not to say, My own ability and skill have gotten me this wealth. You must remember the Lord your God, for he is the one who gives ability to get wealth.... (NET). If indeed James is addressed to those who are in despair over losing everything (see notes, 1:10), this would seem to be an admonishment to trust God to restore them, and καυχᾶσθε ἐν ταῖς ἀλαζονείαις ὑμῶν seems to take on an opposite sense—not of gloating in positive fictions about oneself, but of wallowing in negative fictions.
