8 Bible Verses about Commending Oneself

Though while he lives he congratulates himself—
And though men praise you when you do well for yourself—

Let another praise you, and not your own mouth;
A stranger, and not your own lips.

For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.
