見納者非自許、乃主所許焉、

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

Those who praise themselves are not accepted. Those the Lord praises are accepted.

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.

For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.

For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of human hearts; and then praise will come to each person from God.

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.

But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from people, but from God.

And He said to them,“ You are the ones who justify yourselves in the sight of people, but God knows your hearts; because that which is highly esteemed among people is detestable in the sight of God.

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth; A stranger, and not your own lips.

“ Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.The Pharisee stood and began praying this in regard to himself:‘ God, I thank You that I am not like other people: swindlers, crooked, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.I fast twice a week; I pay tithes of all that I get.’But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to raise his eyes toward heaven, but was beating his chest, saying,‘ God, be merciful to me, the sinner!’I tell you, this man went to his house justified rather than the other one; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but the one who humbles himself will be exalted.”

for they loved the approval of people rather than the approval of God.

Every person’s way is right in his own eyes, But the Lord examines the hearts.

but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in difficulties,

Now we pray to God that you do nothing wrong; not so that we ourselves may appear approved, but that you may do what is right, though we may appear unapproved.

but I know you, that you do not have the love of God in yourselves.I have come in My Father’s name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.How can you believe, when you accept glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?

For the one who serves Christ in this way is acceptable to God and approved by other people.

The one who had received the five talents came up and brought five more talents, saying,‘ Master, you entrusted five talents to me. See, I have earned five more talents.’His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’“ Also the one who had received the two talents came up and said,‘ Master, you entrusted two talents to me. See, I have earned two more talents.’His master said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter the joy of your master.’

so that the proof of your faith, being more precious than gold which perishes though tested by fire, may be found to result in praise, glory, and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

“ Men of Israel, listen to these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a Man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know—

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

Greet Apelles, the approved in Christ. Greet those who are of the household of Aristobulus.

We are not commending ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

For there also have to be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a worker who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.
