2 Corinthians 10:14-16 Now we are not going too far in claiming you as part of our outreach, since we were the first ones to come to you with the Gospel of Christ.

AUV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁴ Now we are not going too far in claiming you as part of our outreach, since we were the first ones to come to you with the Gospel of Christ. ¹⁵ So, we will not go beyond our proper limits by boasting of work [already] done by others, but we hope that, as your faith increases, our field of service among you will [also] greatly expand. ¹⁶ [This is] so we can proclaim the good news [about Christ] even to areas beyond you [Note: Perhaps Paul here alludes to such places as Italy and Spain], and [thereby] not boast over what has [already] been done in someone else’s field of service.
