17 But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

17 As the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”

18 When people commend themselves, it doesn’t count for much. The important thing is for the Lord to commend them.

17 But “he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.” 18 For not he who commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

17 But, “If people want to brag, they should brag only about the Lord.” 18 It is not those who say they are good who are accepted but those the Lord thinks are good.

17 But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

17 But he that boasts, let him boast in the Lord. 18 For not he that commends himself is approved, but whom the Lord commends.

17 “Whoever brags should brag about what the Lord has done.” 18 It isn’t the person who makes his own recommendation who receives approval, but the person whom the Lord recommends. 

17 So the one who boasts must boast in the Lord. 18 For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.

17 “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not those who commend themselves that are approved, but those whom the Lord commends.

17 But “the one who boasts, let him boast in the Lord.” 18 For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.

17 But, “The one who brags should brag about what the Lord has done.” 18 Those who praise themselves are not accepted. Those the Lord praises are accepted.

17 But he who boasts is to boast in the Lord.

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