Proverbs 27:2

¹⁸For it isn’t he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

²⁷It is not good to eat much honey, nor is it honorable to seek one’s own honor.

¹²For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

¹¹I have become foolish in boasting. You compelled me, for I ought to have been commended by you, for I am in no way inferior to the very best apostles, though I am nothing.
