2 Corinthians 10:17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

Let the Lord’s Name be praised in all our endeavours. Let Him have the preeminence. Let Him receive the glory due unto His Name. Truly, every man at his best state is altogether vanity. (Psalm 39:5).

Matthew Henry observed well, “If we are able to fix good rules for our conduct, or act by them, or have any good success in so doing, the praise and glory of all are owing unto God. Ministers, in particular, must be careful not to glory in their performances but must give God the glory of their work, and the success thereof.”

Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
