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 that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
It isn’t the person who promotes himself or herself who is approved but the person whom the Lord commends.
For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but rather he whom God commends.
