6 Bible Verses about Commending Oneself

for it is not the self-praiser with his own recommendations who is accepted, it is the man whom the Lord recommends.

This is not 'recommending myself to you again'; it is giving you an incentive to be proud of me, which you can use against men who are proud of externals instead of the inward reality.

I do not venture to class myself or to compare myself with certain exalted individuals! They belong to the class of self-praisers; while I limit myself to my own sphere, I compare myself with my own standard,

Am I beginning again to 'commend' myself? Do I need, like some people, to be commended by written certificates either to you or from you?

I prove myself at all points a true minister of God, by great endurance, by suffering, by troubles, by calamities,

I disown those practices which very shame conceals from view; I do not go about it craftily; I do not falsify the word of God; I state the truth openly and so commend myself to every man's conscience before God.
