2 Corinthians 5:12
We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.
--------------------
2 Corinthians 5:12
We are not again requesting your approval, but we are giving you the chance of taking pride in us, so that you may be able to give an answer to those whose glory is in seeming, and not in the heart.
--------------------
2 Corinthians 3:1
Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?
2 Corinthians 10:7
Give attention to the things which are before you. If any man seems to himself to be Christ's, let him keep in mind that we are as much Christ's as he is.
2 Corinthians 10:8
For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:
2 Corinthians 11:12
But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.
2 Corinthians 10:12
For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.
2 Corinthians 10:18
For the Lord's approval of a man is not dependent on his opinion of himself, but on the Lord's opinion of him.
2 Corinthians 12:11
I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.
Proverbs 27:2
Let another man give you praise, and not your mouth; one who is strange to you, and not your lips.
2 Corinthians 6:4
But in everything making it clear that we are the servants of God, in quiet strength, in troubles, in need, in sorrow,
2 Corinthians 10:1
Now I, Paul, myself make request to you by the quiet and gentle behaviour of Christ, I who am poor in spirit when with you, but who say what is in my mind to you without fear when I am away from you:
2 Corinthians 11:18
Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.
Luke 16:15
And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.
Luke 18:11
The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.
2 Corinthians 11:16
I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.
Galatians 2:6
But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;
-----
2 Corinthians 5:9
For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.
2 Corinthians 5:10
For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.
2 Corinthians 5:11
Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.
2 Corinthians 4:2
And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.
1 Corinthians 4:3
But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.
1 Corinthians 4:4
For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.
2 Corinthians 1:12
For our glory is in this, in the knowledge which we have that our way of life in the world, and most of all in relation to you, has been holy and true in the eyes of God; not in the wisdom of the flesh, but in the grace of God.
-----
2 Corinthians 5:13
For if we are foolish, it is to God; or if we are serious, it is for you.
2 Corinthians 5:14
For it is the love of Christ which is moving us; because we are of the opinion that if one was put to death for all, then all have undergone death;
2 Corinthians 5:15
And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.
2 Corinthians 5:16
For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

2 Corinthians 1:14
Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Philippians 1:26
So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.
Romans 4:2
For if Abraham got righteousness by works, he has reason for pride; but not before God.
1 Corinthians 5:6
This pride of yours is not good. Do you not see that a little leaven makes a change in all the mass?
Romans 2:17
But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,
Philippians 2:16
Offering the word of life; so that I may have glory in you in the day of Christ, because my running was not for nothing and my work was not without effect.
-----
2 Corinthians 12:19
It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.
2 Corinthians 11:22
Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they of Israel? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.
2 Corinthians 11:23
Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.
Galatians 5:13
Because you, brothers, were marked out to be free; only do not make use of your free condition to give the flesh its chance, but through love be servants one to another.
-----
1 Samuel 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.
John 7:24
Let not your decisions be based on what you see, but on righteousness.
Matthew 23:27
A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.
James 2:2
For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,
James 2:3
And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet;
James 2:4
Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts?
-----
Romans 7:8
But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.
-----
Romans 7:11
For I was tricked and put to death by sin, which took its chance through the law.
-----
2 Corinthians 12:1
As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.
2 Corinthians 12:2
I have knowledge of a man in Christ, fourteen years back (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only), who was taken up to the third heaven.
2 Corinthians 12:3
And I have knowledge of such a man (if he was in the body, or out of the body, I am not able to say, but God only),
2 Corinthians 12:4
How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.
2 Corinthians 12:5
On account of such a one I will have glory: for myself I will take no glory, but only in my feeble body.
2 Corinthians 12:6
For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.
2 Corinthians 12:7
And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.
2 Corinthians 12:8
And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.
2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.
-----
Galatians 6:12
Those who have the desire to seem important in the flesh, put force on you to undergo circumcision; only that they may not be attacked because of the cross of Christ.
Galatians 6:13
Because even those who undergo circumcision do not themselves keep the law; but they would have you undergo circumcision, so that they may have glory in your flesh.
Galatians 6:14
But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it.
