I think I remember a passage where Paul says he boasts, but not of himself. Rather he boasts of … maybe the Holy Spirit? Or of the gospel? Does this ring a bell? Anyone provide direction?

The passage I believe is in romans where he does state that he boasts but not of himself but in the lord. For if one boats in himself it is out of pride and worldly rewards. But if we boast in the lord it is a heavenly one. Paul is stating that for example: Somebody asked you how is your day going, or why are you such in a good mood? You say I am in a such a good mood because of the lord. You are giving that mood/attitude and applying to God not of yourself. The reason why you are in a good mood is because of God!I think I remember a passage where Paul says he boasts, but not of himself. Rather he boasts of … maybe the Holy Spirit? Or of the gospel?

Hopefully this helps! Thanks be to God in the highest!

Also from Paul on “good” boasting:
1 Corinthians 9:15
But I have not used any of these rights. And I am not writing this in the hope that you will do such things for me. I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of this boast.
2 Corinthians 1:12
Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, in the holiness and sincerity that are from God. We have done so not according to worldly wisdom but according to God’s grace.
2 Corinthians 1:14
as you have understood us in part, you will come to understand fully that you can boast of us just as we will boast of you in the day of the Lord Jesus.
2 Corinthians 11:16
I repeat: Let no one take me for a fool. But if you do, then receive me just as you would a fool, so that I may do a little boasting.
And lots more here…
