Proverbs 27:2 Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth;a stranger, and not thine own lips. 

How true that self praise is no recommendation. Anything with SELF in it is of our old nature. The new man should not be chasing after praise or honor but rather genuine praise or honor should follow after him like a shadow.

Rather we should be following after and “Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God”Hebrews 12:2

“Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Philippians 6-8
