Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey, Nor is it glory to search out one's own glory.

2 Corinthians 10:12 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.

2 Corinthians 10:18 For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

2 Corinthians 12:11 I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody. (NASB ©1995)
