我們不敢和那些自我推薦的人相提並論！他們以自己的尺度衡量自己，自我比較，實在不明智！

有自譽者、我不敢與之匹、與之較、其人自相度、自相較、不智也、

有人自許、吾不敢與之匹、與之較、我謂彼較其所較、度其所度、不智也、

有自譽者、我儕不敢與之相同、與之相較、彼以己度己、以己較己、乃不智也、

吾儕不敢與一般自衒自媒者、較一日之短長、惟任若輩自相較量；實則皆淺識絀見耳。

We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise.

I don’t dare to compare myself with those who praise themselves. I’m not that kind of person. They measure themselves by themselves. They compare themselves with themselves. When they do that, they are not wise.

Not that we dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they are without understanding.

Oh, don’t worry; we wouldn’t dare say that we are as wonderful as these other men who tell you how important they are! But they are only comparing themselves with each other, using themselves as the standard of measurement. How ignorant!

For we don’t dare classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. But in measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves to themselves, they lack understanding.

For we do not presume to rank or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they have no understanding.

For we dare not class ourselves or compare ourselves with those who commend themselves. But they, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.

讓別人誇獎你，不要開口自誇；讓外人稱讚你，不要自吹自擂。

自以為有智慧的人，還不如愚人有希望。

法利賽人站在那裡自言自語地禱告說，『上帝啊！我感謝你，因為我不像別人那樣勒索、不義、通姦，也不像這稅吏。

難道我們又是在稱讚自己嗎？難道我們像別人一樣，需要拿著推薦信去見你們，或拿著你們的推薦信去見別人嗎？

別的事我不敢提，只有一件是我津津樂道的，就是基督藉著我的言語行為，用神蹟奇事和聖靈的大能叫外族人順服，使我把基督的福音從耶路撒冷一路傳到了以利哩古。

「你們真是什麼都懂的人啊，你們死了，智慧也會消逝！

我們不是稱讚自己，而是讓你們有機會以我們為榮，叫你們可以反駁那些只貪圖外表虛榮、不注重內在實質的人。

蜂蜜吃得太多有害無益，追求自己的榮耀也不光彩。
