2 Corinthians 10:12-18

21st Century King James Version

¹² For we dare not number ourselves, or compare ourselves, with some who commend themselves. For in measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, they are not wise.

¹³ But we will not boast of things beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

¹⁴ For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you. For we have come as far as to you also in preaching the Gospel of Christ,

¹⁵ not boasting of things beyond our own measure, that is, of other men’s labors; but having hope that, when your faith has increased, we shall be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly,

¹⁶ to preach the Gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s rule, which he made ready for our hand.

¹⁷ But “he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.”

¹⁸ For it is not he that commendeth himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.
