We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.

We were not expecting people to praise us. We were not looking for praise from you or anyone else. Yet as Christ’s apostles, we could have used our authority over you.

Nor did we seek glory from people, whether from you or from others, though we could have made demands as apostles of Christ.

As for human praise, we have never sought it from you or anyone else.

and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.

nor did we seek honor from people, either from you or from others, though we could have asserted our authority as apostles of Christ.

Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

nor seeking glory from men( neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that[ cometh] from God only?

I receive not honour from men.

Wherefore, though I might be much bold in Christ to enjoin thee that which is convenient,Yet for love’s sake I rather beseech[ thee], being such an one as Paul the aged, and now also a prisoner of Jesus Christ.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

For ye remember, brethren, our labour and travail: for labouring night and day, because we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached unto you the gospel of God.

Am I not an apostle? am I not free? have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord? are not ye my work in the Lord?If I be not an apostle unto others, yet doubtless I am to you: for the seal of mine apostleship are ye in the Lord.

If others be partakers of[ this] power over you,[ are] not we rather? Nevertheless we have not used this power; but suffer all things, lest we should hinder the gospel of Christ.Do ye not know that they which minister about holy things live[ of the things] of the temple? and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the altar?Even so hath the Lord ordained that they which preach the gospel should live of the gospel.But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for[ it were] better for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void.For though I preach the gospel, I have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me; yea, woe is unto me, if I preach not the gospel!For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation[ of the gospel] is committed unto me.What is my reward then?[ Verily] that, when I preach the gospel, I may make the gospel of Christ without charge, that I abuse not my power in the gospel.

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Have we not power to eat and to drink?Have we not power to lead about a sister, a wife, as well as other apostles, and[ as] the brethren of the Lord, and Cephas?Or I only and Barnabas, have not we power to forbear working?

Now I Paul myself beseech you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ, who in presence[ am] base among you, but being absent am bold toward you:But I beseech[ you], that I may not be bold when I am present with that confidence, wherewith I think to be bold against some, which think of us as if we walked according to the flesh.

The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?

For[ his] letters, say they,[ are] weighty and powerful; but[ his] bodily presence[ is] weak, and[ his] speech contemptible.Let such an one think this, that, such as we are in word by letters when we are absent, such[ will we be] also in deed when we are present.

And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and all[ the things] wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

For now we live, if ye stand fast in the Lord.For what thanks can we render to God again for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your sakes before our God;

[ It is] not good to eat much honey: so[ for men] to search their own glory[ is not] glory.

Therefore I write these things being absent, lest being present I should use sharpness, according to the power which the Lord hath given me to edification, and not to destruction.

For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.

When he shewed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty many days,[ even] an hundred and fourscore days.

For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether[ we be] Jews or Gentiles, whether[ we be] bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit.For the body is not one member, but many.If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body?

For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.

Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.

Let the elders that rule well be counted worthy of double honour, especially they who labour in the word and doctrine.

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
