Second letter to the Corinthians 10:12

Not that we dare to compare or measure ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. They measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, but they understand nothing.
[In the ancient world, comparison with others was a common rhetorical device that was practiced extensively.]
