O my soul, come not thou into their secret; to their assembly, my honor, be not thou united: for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they digged down a wall.

Also from your own selves will men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

I can of my own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who hath sent me.

But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged by you, or by man's judgment: yes, I judge not my own self.
