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.

要讓陌生人誇獎你，不可用口自誇；讓外邦人稱讚你，不可用嘴唇稱讚自己。

你看見自以為有智慧的人嗎？愚昧人比他更有指望。

法利賽人獨自站着，自言自語地禱告說：『神啊，我感謝你，我不像別人勒索、不義、姦淫，也不像這個稅吏。

難道我們又開始推薦自己嗎？難道我們像某些人那樣要用人的推薦信介紹給你們，或用你們的推薦信給人嗎？

因為蒙悅納的，不是自我稱許的，而是主所稱許的。

除了基督藉我做的那些事，我甚麼都不敢提，只提他藉我的言語作為，用神蹟奇事的能力，並神的靈的能力，使外邦人順服；甚至我從耶路撒冷，直轉到以利哩古，到處傳了基督的福音。

「你們果真是人物啊！智慧要與你們一同去死。

我們不是向你們再推薦自己，而是要讓你們有誇耀我們的機會，使你們好面對那憑外貌、不憑內心誇耀的人。

吃蜜過多是不好的，自求榮耀也是一樣。
