Strong's King James

(30) I can from Myself do nothing, as I hear, I judge and My judgement is righteous because I don't seek My own will rather the will of Him who sent Me.

The F.O.G

[30] I can do nothing on My own authority. I judge only as God directs Me, and My judgment is absolutely just because I carry out the will of the Father who sent Me, not My own will.

The F.O.G Paraphrase

‘I am not able of myself to do anything; according as I hear I judge, and my judgment is righteous, because I seek not my own will, but the will of the Father who sent me.
