Harun Yahya (Adnan Oktar)

Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I
would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think
more of me than is warranted by what I do or say. (2 Corinthi-

ans, 12:6)

Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each oth-
er. (Galatians, 5:26)

Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by
his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from
wisdom. But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition in
your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth... For where
you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and
every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven [in

line with God's approval] is first of all pure; then peace-loving,
considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial
and sincere. (James, 3:13-17)
