⁴³ for they loved the glory of men more than the glory of God.

⁴⁴ how are ye able -- ye -- to believe, glory from one another receiving, and the glory that `is' from God alone ye seek not?

⁴¹ glory from man I do not receive,

¹⁵ and he said to them, `Ye are those declaring yourselves righteous before men, but God doth know your hearts; because that which among men is high, `is' abomination before God;

⁵ `And all their works they do to be seen by men, and they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the fringes of their garments,

⁶ they love also the chief couches in the supper, and the chief seats in the synagogues,

⁷ and the salutations in the market-places, and to be called by men, Rabbi, Rabbi.

⁴ but -- the hidden man of the heart, in the incorruptible thing of the meek and quiet spirit, which is, before God, of great price,

⁷ that the proof of your faith -- much more precious than of gold that is perishing, and through fire being approved -- may be found to praise, and honour, and glory, in the revelation of Jesus Christ,

⁸ whom, not having seen, ye love, in whom, now not seeing and believing, ye are glad with joy unspeakable and glorified,

⁶ nor seeking of men glory, neither from you nor from others, being able to be burdensome, as Christ's apostles.

¹⁸ for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.

⁵ so, then, nothing before the time judge ye, till the Lord may come, who will both bring to light the hidden things of the darkness, and will manifest the counsels of the hearts, and then the praise shall come to each from God.

⁷ to those, indeed, who in continuance of a good work, do seek glory, and honour, and incorruptibility -- life age-during;

²⁶ if any one may minister to me, let him follow me, and where I am, there also my ministrant shall be; and if any one may minister to me -- honour him will the Father.

⁵⁴ Jesus answered, `If I glorify myself, my glory is nothing; it is my Father who is glorifying me, of whom ye say that He is your God;

¹⁷ and he said to him, Well done, good servant, because in a very little thou didst become faithful, be having authority over ten cities.

² whenever, therefore, thou mayest do kindness, thou mayest not sound a trumpet before thee as the hypocrites do, in the synagogues, and in the streets, that they may have glory from men; verily I say to you -- they have their reward!

²⁹ And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he `who' hath not revived his soul.

³⁰ `Therefore -- the affirmation of Jehovah, God of Israel -- I certainly said, Thy house and the house of thy father, do walk up and down before Me to the age; and now -- the affirmation of Jehovah -- Far be it from Me! for he who is honouring Me, I honour, and those despising Me, are lightly esteemed.
