18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

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

18 It is not those who say they are good who are accepted but those the Lord thinks are good.

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

18 It isn’t the person who makes his own recommendation who receives approval, but the person whom the Lord recommends. 

18 For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

18 For it is not those who commend themselves that are approved, but those whom the Lord commends.

18 For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

18 Those who praise themselves are not accepted. Those the Lord praises are accepted.

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