2 Corinthians 10: 17-18 [Latin]17 [Brothers!] … he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 18 For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

Fratres! Qui gloriatur, in Domino glorietur, non enim qui seipsum commendat ille probatus est, sed quem Deus commendat.

Revelation 7:9-12 [Latin] – 9 [After this] I saw a great multitude, which no man could number, of all nations, and tribes, and peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne, and in sight of the Lamb, clothed with white robes, and palms in their hands: 10 And they cried with a loud voice, saying: Salvation to our God, who sitteth upon the throne, and to the Lamb. 11 And all the angels stood round about the throne, and the ancients, and the four living creatures; and they fell down before the throne upon their faces, and adored God, 12 Saying: Amen. Benediction, and glory, and wisdom, and thanksgiving, honour, and power, and strength to our God for ever and ever. Amen.

Vidi turbam magnam quam dinumerare nemo poterat, ex omnibus gentibus et tribubus, et populis, et linguis: stantes ante thronum Dei in conspectu Agni, amicti stolis albis, et palmae in manibus eorum: et clamabant voce magna dicentes: Salus Deo nostro qui sedet super thronum Agno. Et omnes angeli stabant in circuitut throni et seniorum et quattuor animalium, et ceciderunt in conspectu throni et adoraverunt Deum, dicentes: Amen. Benedictio, et claritas et sapientia et gratiarum actio, honor virtus et fortitudo Deo nostro, in saecula saeculorum, Amen
