2 “Thus, when you give to the needy, sound no trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may be ^cpraised by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.

43 for they loved the glory that comes from man more than the ^aglory that comes from God.

10 For am I now ^oseeking the ^papproval of man, or of God? Or am I trying to please man? If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant¹ of Christ.

6 Nor did we ^gseek glory from people, whether from you or from others, ^hthough we could have made demands as ⁱapostles of Christ.
