1:31a Therefore, as it is written:

So the Scriptures say:
-or-
As a result ⌊we (incl.) should do⌋ what is written in God’s Book:
-or-
Thus ⌊we should do⌋ as ⌊a prophet⌋ wrote in God’s book:

1:31b “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

“If someone boasts, he should only boast about the Lord.”
-or-
“People should not brag about anything except what the Lord/Christ has done for them.”
-or-
The only thing that someone can truthfully boast/brag about is how Christ/the Lord saved him/her ⌊from eternal death⌋.
