John 7:18 Made Simple

KJV ORIGINAL

He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.

Close to the original. Clear modern English.

✦ MADE SIMPLE

Anyone who talks just to make themselves look good is chasing their own hype. But someone who's trying to honor the one who sent them? That person is telling the truth, and there's nothing fake about them.

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Real authenticity comes from lifting others up, not building yourself up.
