Boast; or Glory. The word is translated as; Rejoice / Glory.
It's found in Rom_2:23. There the ASV translates; "thou who gloriest in the law,...". Unregenerate Jews Gloried in the law. So the objection that Rom 7 "cannot be an unregenerate man because based on Rom_7:22.. an unregenerate man cannot delight in God's law,"  is false.
