2 Corinthians 10:18
For it is not the man who approves of himself who is really approved; it is the man of whom the Lord approves.
2 Corinthians 10:12
I do not indeed venture to class or compare myself with certain individuals who approve of themselves. But when they measure themselves by one another and compare themselves with one another, they do not show good sense.
2 Corinthians 12:11
I have been making a fool of myself, but you forced me to do it, when you ought to have been expressing your approval of me. For I am not a bit inferior to your superfine apostles, even if I am nobody!
