We were not looking for praise from people, not from you or anyone else, even though as apostles of Christ we could have asserted our authority.

We were not expecting people to praise us. We were not looking for praise from you or anyone else. Yet as Christ’s apostles, we could have used our authority over you.

As for human praise, we have never sought it from you or anyone else.

and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.

nor did we seek honor from people, either from you or from others, though we could have asserted our authority as apostles of Christ.

Nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, when we might have made demands as apostles of Christ.

nor seeking glory of men, neither from you nor from others, when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

and we didn’t seek glory from people, either from you or from others.

Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor[ yet] of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.

nor to seek glory from people, either from you or from others,

nor seeking glory from men( neither from you nor from others), when we might have claimed authority as apostles of Christ.

How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and do not seek the glory that comes from the only God?

I do not receive glory from people.

Accordingly, though I am bold enough in Christ to command you to do what is required,yet for love’s sake I prefer to appeal to you— I, Paul, an old man and now a prisoner also for Christ Jesus—

For am I now seeking the approval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.

For you remember, brothers, our labor and toil: we worked night and day, that we might not be a burden to any of you, while we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

Am I not free? Am I not an apostle? Have I not seen Jesus our Lord? Are not you my workmanship in the Lord?If to others I am not an apostle, at least I am to you, for you are the seal of my apostleship in the Lord.

If others share this rightful claim on you, do not we even more? Nevertheless, we have not made use of this right, but we endure anything rather than put an obstacle in the way of the gospel of Christ.Do you not know that those who are employed in the temple service get their food from the temple, and those who serve at the altar share in the sacrificial offerings?In the same way, the Lord commanded that those who proclaim the gospel should get their living by the gospel.But I have made no use of any of these rights, nor am I writing these things to secure any such provision. For I would rather die than have anyone deprive me of my ground for boasting.For if I preach the gospel, that gives me no ground for boasting. For necessity is laid upon me. Woe to me if I do not preach the gospel!For if I do this of my own will, I have a reward, but if not of my own will, I am still entrusted with a stewardship.What then is my reward? That in my preaching I may present the gospel free of charge, so as not to make full use of my right in the gospel.

For what we proclaim is not ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, with ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.

Do we not have the right to eat and drink?Do we not have the right to take along a believing wife, as do the other apostles and the brothers of the Lord and Cephas?Or is it only Barnabas and I who have no right to refrain from working for a living?

I, Paul, myself entreat you, by the meekness and gentleness of Christ— I who am humble when face to face with you, but bold toward you when I am away!—I beg of you that when I am present I may not have to show boldness with such confidence as I count on showing against some who suspect us of walking according to the flesh.

and the king answered and said,“ Is not this great Babylon, which I have built by my mighty power as a royal residence and for the glory of my majesty?”

For they say,“ His letters are weighty and strong, but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.”Let such a person understand that what we say by letter when absent, we do when present.

And Haman recounted to them the splendor of his riches, the number of his sons, all the promotions with which the king had honored him, and how he had advanced him above the officials and the servants of the king.

For now we live, if you are standing fast in the Lord.For what thanksgiving can we return to God for you, for all the joy that we feel for your sake before our God,

It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.

For this reason I write these things while I am away from you, that when I come I may not have to be severe in my use of the authority that the Lord has given me for building up and not for tearing down.

for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the glory that comes from God.

while he showed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor and pomp of his greatness for many days, 180 days.

For in one Spirit we were all baptized into one body— Jews or Greeks, slaves or free— and all were made to drink of one Spirit.For the body does not consist of one member but of many.If the foot should say,“ Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body.

For even those who are circumcised do not themselves keep the law, but they desire to have you circumcised that they may boast in your flesh.

Let us not become conceited, provoking one another, envying one another.

Let the elders who rule well be considered worthy of double honor, especially those who labor in preaching and teaching.

The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood.

Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.
