16 Jesus therefore answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone desires to do his will, he will know about the teaching, whether it is from God, or if I am speaking from myself. 18 He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory, but he who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Mtu akipenda kuyatenda, mapenzi yake, atajua habari ya yale mafunzu, kwamba yatoka kwa Mungu, au kwamba mimi nanena kwa nafsi yangu tu. Yeye anenaye kwa nafsi yake tu hutafuta utukufu wake mwenyewe; bali yeye anayetafuta utukufu wake aliyenipeleka, huyo ni wa kweli, wala ndani yake hamna udhalimu”.
