For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth. |
For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends. |
For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends. |
For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends. |
For [it is] not [the man] who praises and commends himself who is approved and accepted, but [it is the person] whom the Lord accredits and commends. |
for not he who recommends himself, that one is accepted after having been put to the test, but he whom the Lord recommends, that one has His stamp of approval placed upon him, that approval being based upon the fact that the approved one has met the test satisfactorily. |
It is not self-commendation that matters, it is the winning the approval of God. |
For it is not the man who keeps on recommending himself who is really approved, but it is the man whom the Lord recommends. |
