2 Corinthians 10:13-18

English Standard Version

¹³ But we will not boast ^(A)beyond limits, but will ^(B)boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, ^(C)to reach even to you. ¹⁴ For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you. ^(D)For we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. ¹⁵ We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others. But our hope is that ^(E)as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be ^(F)greatly enlarged, ¹⁶ so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's area of influence. ¹⁷ “Let ^(G)the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” ¹⁸ For it is ^(H)not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one ^(I)whom the Lord commends.
