2 Corinthians 10:12 New Living Translation (NLT)

2 Corinthians 10:12 The Passion Translation (TPT)
Of course, we wouldn’t dare to put ourselves in the same class or compare ourselves with those who rate themselves so highly. They compare themselves to one another and make up their own standards to measure themselves by, and then they judge themselves by their own standards. What self-delusion!
