Galatians 6:4
_ _ his own work — not merely his own opinion of himself.
_ _ have rejoicing in himself alone — Translate, “Have his (matter for) glorying in regard to himself alone, and not in regard to another (namely, not in regard to his neighbor, by comparing himself with whom, he has fancied he has matter for boasting as that neighbor’s superior).” Not that really a man by looking to “himself alone” is likely to find cause for glorying in himself. Nay, in Galatians 6:5, he speaks of a “burden” or load, not of matter for glorying, as what really belongs to each man. But he refers to the idea those whom he censures had of themselves: they thought they had cause for “glorying” in themselves, but it all arose from unjust self-conceited comparison of themselves with others, instead of looking at home. The only true glorying, if glorying it is to be called, is in the testimony of a good conscience, glorying in the cross of Christ. |
Galatians 6:4
But let every man try his own work — Narrowly examine all he is, and all he doeth. And then he shall have rejoicing in himself — He will find in himself matter of rejoicing, if his works are right before God. And not in another — Not in glorying over others. |

2 Corinthians 11:12-13 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them which desire occasion; that wherein they glory, they may be found even as we. ... For such [are] false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.
