John Chapter 8, Verse 50
From BibleWiki
50: εγω δε ου ζητω την δοξαν μου εστιν ο ζητων και κρινων
50: And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.
50: But I seek not my own glory: there is one that seeketh and
judgeth.
Mine own glory. My own praise or honour. In all his teaching this was true. He did not seek to exalt or to vindicate himself. He was willing to lie under reproach and to be despised. He regarded little, therefore, their taunts and accusations; and even now, he says, he would not seek to vindicate himself.
There is one that seeketh and judgeth. God will take care of my reputation. He seeks my welfare and honour, and I may commit my cause into his hands without attempting my own vindication.
