I receive not praise of men:
He that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own praise. But he that seeketh his praise that sent him, he is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
neither sought we praise of men, neither of you, nor yet of any other, when we might have been chargable, as the apostles of Christ:
I seek not mine own praise: There is one that seeketh it and judgeth.
but I receive no record of man. Nevertheless, these things I say, that ye might be safe.
¶ Iesus answered: If I praise myself, mine praise is nothing worth. It is my father that praiseth me, which ye say is your God.
Iesus knew well enough, that they would come, and take him up, to make him king: and therefore departed he again, into a mountain, himself alone.
How can ye believe, which receive praise one of another, and seek not the praise which cometh of God only?
Even then verily when he received of God the father honour and glory, and when there came such a voice to him from that excellent glory. This is my dear beloved son, in whom I have delight,
¶ Hereunto verily were ye called, for Christ also suffered for our sakes: leaving us an ensample that ye should follow his steps,
And yet will ye not come to me that ye might have life.
But I know you, that ye have not the love of God in you.
For they loved the praise that is given of men, more than the praise, that cometh of God.
