2 Esdras 8:48

48 But even in this respect you will be praiseworthy before the Most High,

2 Esdras 8:48 In-Context

46 He answered me and said, "Things that are present are for those who live now, and things that are future are for those who will live hereafter.

47 For you come far short of being able to love my creation more than I love it. But you have often compared yourself to the unrighteous. Never do so!

48 But even in this respect you will be praiseworthy before the Most High,

49 because you have humbled yourself, as is becoming for you, and have not deemed yourself to be among the righteous in order to receive the greatest glory.

50 For many miseries will affect those who inhabit the world in the last times, because they have walked in great pride.
