8 Bible Verses about Commending Oneself

Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.

For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.

But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,

And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.
