2 Esdras 8:47-49
Revised Standard Version
47 For you come far short of being able to love my creation more than I love it. But you have often compared yourself[a] 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[b] the greatest glory.
