For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? or am I striving to please men? if I were still pleasing men, I should not be a servant of Christ.

Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Διοτι τωρα ανθρωπους πειθω η τον Θεον; η ζητω να αρεσκω εις ανθρωπους; διοτι εαν ακομη ηρεσκον εις ανθρωπους, δεν ηθελον εισθαι δουλος Χριστου.

For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.
