2 Corinthians 10:16-18
EasyEnglish Bible
16 Then we want to tell God's good news to people in places beyond where you are. Those are not places where God has sent other people to work. Then we will not be praising ourselves for the work that anyone else has done. 17 The Bible says this:
‘If you want to be proud about something,
be proud of what the Lord has done.’
18 Who is really good? It is not the person who praises himself. It is the person that the Lord says is a good person.

New International Version
16 so that we can preach the gospel(A) in the regions beyond you.(B) For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory. 17 But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[a](C) 18 For it is not the one who commends himself(D) who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.(E)
