A Word to the Arrogant and Self-Sufficient

1. To Boast -- To express an unusually high view of confidence in someone
   or something. Lowe and Nida

2. Arrogances -- An arrogant one is “a braggart who seeks to impress
   everyone he meets with his non-existent importance. He boasts of what he
   has and what he does. His arrogance relates to his external circumstances. Whether wealth or rank or dress; it is a pretentious ostentation – the desire
   to shine or outshine others in luxurious living.” John Stott
   See 1 John 2:16, 3:17; Luke 12:15
