“For he that in these things serveth Christ is acceptable to God, and approved of men.”
Whoever thus serves Christ in this way is pleasing to God and receives human approval. — Douleuo (serve, minister) tō Christō (to Christ) by prioritizing righteousness-peace-joy is euarestos (pleasing, acceptable) tō theo (to God). Dokimos (approved, proven, tested) becomes para anthrōpois (before/among humans). Love-driven restraint wins approval both divine and human.
