# For am I now seeking the favor of men or of God? Am I seeking to please men?
|

These rhetorical questions expect the answer "no." Alternate translation: "I do not seek the favor of men, but instead I seek the favor of God. I am not seeking to please men." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])

# If I am still trying to please men, I am not a servant of Christ
|
|
|
|
Both the "if" phrase and the "then" phrase are contrary to fact. "I am not still trying to please men; I am a servant of Christ" or "If I were still trying to please men, then I would not be a servant of Christ"
