2 Corinthians10:17
17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord .
But we have none of us any thing to glory in; neither I Paul who plant, nor Apollos that watereth; whether God maketh use of us as the first Planters of the Gospel, or as Instruments to carry on the work of the Gospel already planted, we have nothing of our own to glory in. God gives the increase; we have therefore no reason to glory in our selves, or in our own performances, but only to give thanks to God, who maketh use of us poor earthly Vessels to carry about and distribute that heavenly Treasure, by which he maketh Souls rich in Faith and good Works; all that we do is only instrumentally; God is all, and in all; as to primary Efficiency.
