John 8:50

I am not trying to get ¹  praise for myself. ²  There is one who demands ³  it, and he also judges. ⁴ 

I am not seeking glory for myself; but there is one who seeks it, and he is the judge.

"But I do not seek My glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

And though I have no wish to glorify myself, God wants to glorify me. Let him be the judge.

I am not trying to get anything for myself. God intends something gloriously grand here and is making the decisions that will bring it about.

I, however, am not in search of glory for myself: there is One who is searching for it and he is judge.

Yet I do not seek my own glory; there is one who seeks it and he is the judge.

"And I do not seek My own glory; there is One who seeks and judges.

I am not trying to get ¹  praise for myself. ²  There is one who demands ³  it, and he also judges. ⁴ 

¹ tn Grk “I am not seeking.”

² tn Grk “my glory.”

³ tn Grk “who seeks.”

⁴ tn Or “will be the judge.”
