Galatians 6:4

Next

But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.

But {G1161} let {G1381} every man {G1538} prove {G1381} his own {G1438} work {G2041}, and {G2532} then {G5119} shall he have {G2192} rejoicing {G2745} in {G1519} himself {G1438} alone {G3441}, and {G2532} not {G3756} in {G1519} another {G2087}.

So let each of you scrutinize his own actions. Then if you do find something to boast about, at least the boasting will be based on what you have actually done and not merely on a judgment that you are better than someone else;

Each one should test his own work. Then he will have reason to boast in himself alone, and not in someone else.

But let each man prove his own work, and then shall he have his glorying in regard of himself alone, and not of his neighbor.
