2 Corinthians 10:16-18

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

¹⁶ so that we may proclaim the good news^[a] in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in someone else’s sphere of action. ¹⁷ ‘Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.’ ¹⁸ For it is not those who commend themselves that are approved, but those whom the Lord commends.
