Join a community that seeks to grow in faith, share the Word, and walk together following Christ.
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.
A verse can bring hope. Share this message of faith with someone you care about.
Verse 12 is found in chapter 10 of 2 Corinthians. Paul rejects comparing himself with those who commend themselves. His criterion of legitimacy is the work God has assigned him and, ultimately, the Lord’s approval, not human self-evaluation.
Meditate on this verse and share your reflection or spiritual experience with the community. Your comments will enrich everyone's learning.
Compare 2 Corinthians 10:12 in different Bible versions and see how its wording varies between translations. These differences can help you better understand the meaning and context of the passage.
