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

蓋見納者非自譽、乃主所譽也、

見納者非自許、乃主所許焉、

蓋非自譽者見納、乃主所譽者見納也、

蓋稱許自己者、未足嘉也；惟為天主所許、斯可嘉已。

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 it is not the one who commends himself that is approved, but the one 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 judge nothing before the time, until the Lord comes, who will both bring to light the hidden things of darkness and reveal the counsels of the hearts. Then each one’s praise will come from God.

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.

but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.

And He said to them,“ You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

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

“ Two men went up to the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.The Pharisee stood and prayed thus with himself,‘ God, I thank You that I am not like other men— extortioners, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax collector.I fast twice a week; I give tithes of all that I possess.’And the tax collector, standing afar off, would not so much as raise his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,‘ God, be merciful to me a sinner!’I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

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

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the hearts.

But in all things we commend ourselves as ministers of God: in much patience, in tribulations, in needs, in distresses,

Now I pray to God that you do no evil, not that we should appear approved, but that you should do what is honorable, though we may seem disqualified.

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

For he who serves Christ in these things is acceptable to God and approved by men.

“ So he who had received five talents came and brought five other talents, saying,‘ Lord, you delivered to me five talents; look, I have gained five more talents besides them.’His Lord said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’He also who had received two talents came and said,‘ Lord, you delivered to me two talents; look, I have gained two more talents besides them.’His Lord said to him,‘ Well done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord.’

that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ,

“ Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a Man attested by God to you by miracles, wonders, and signs which God did through Him in your midst, as you yourselves also know—

Do we begin again to commend ourselves? Or do we need, as some others, epistles of commendation to you or letters of commendation from you?

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

For we do not commend ourselves again to you, but give you opportunity to boast on our behalf, that you may have an answer for those who boast in appearance and not in heart.

For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approved may be recognized among you.

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