Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
οὐ ζητῶ τὴν δόξαν μου
not /am/_seeking the glory ˱of˲_me
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of glory, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: “I do not seek to glorify myself”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἔστιν ὁ ζητῶν καὶ κρίνων
˱he˲_is the_‹one› seeking and judging
Here, one refers to God. If this might confuse your readers, you could express the meaning explicitly. Alternate translation: “God is the one seeking and judging”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
ὁ ζητῶν
the_‹one› seeking
Here, Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. If it would be helpful in your language, you could supply these words from the context. Alternate translation: “one seeking my glory”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis
κρίνων
judging
Jesus is leaving out some of the words that a clause would need in many languages to be complete. Here, judging could refer to: (1) God judging between what Jesus said about himself and what his Jewish opponents were saying about him. Alternate translation: “judging between your testimony and mine” (2) God condemning those who dishonor Jesus. Alternate translation: “judging those who dishonor me”
