OET (OET-LV) The one speaking from himself, is_seeking the his own glory, but the one seeking the glory of_the one having_sent him, this one is true, and unrighteousness is not in him.
OET (OET-RV) Any person who just teaches their own thoughts is just seeking their own advancement, but anyone who wants to promote the one who sent them, this is authentic and there’s no hidden self-interest.
Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἀφ’ ἑαυτοῦ
from himself
Here, from is used to indicate the source of what the person is speaking. A teaching could only have authority if God was its source. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state this explicitly. Alternate translation: [by his own authority]
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
τὴν δόξαν τὴν ἰδίαν ζητεῖ; ὁ δὲ ζητῶν τὴν δόξαν τοῦ πέμψαντος αὐτὸν
the glory his own ˓is˒_seeking the_‹one› but seeking the glory ˱of˲_the_‹one› ˓having˒_sent him
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: [seeks to make himself glorious, but the one seeking to make the one who sent him glorious]
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns
ἀδικία ἐν αὐτῷ οὐκ ἔστιν
unrighteousness in him not is
If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of unrighteousness, you could express the same idea in another way. Alternate translation: [he is not wicked]
7:1-52 This chapter is another account of Jesus during a Jewish festival, the Festival of Shelters. Jesus used elements of the festival to reveal his true identity to his Jewish compatriots and to show that he had fulfilled the festival’s essential meaning (see 7:37-39; 8:12).

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.
