Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips.

How can you believe, who receive honor from one another, and do not seek the honor that comes from God only?

It is really not profitable for me to boast, for I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

I have become foolish in boasting; you have compelled me. For I ought to have been commended by you; for in nothing was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, though I am nothing.

Let nothing be done through selfish ambition or self-glory, but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others as surpassing himself.
