I do not receive honor from men.
For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God.
But I do not receive testimony from man: but these things I say, that you might be saved.
And you will not come to me, that you might have life.
But I know you, that you do not have the love of God in you.
How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from God only?
When Jesus therefore perceived that they would come and take him by force, to make him a king, he departed again into a mountain himself alone.
He that speaks from himself seeks his own glory: but he that seeks his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
And I do not seek my own glory: there is one who seeks and judges.
Jesus answered, If I honor myself, my honor is nothing: it is my Father who honors me; of whom you say, that he is your God:
Nor from men did we seek glory, neither from you, nor yet from others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ.
For even to this were you called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that you should follow his steps:
For he received from God the Father honor and glory, when there came such a voice to him from the excellent glory, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
