2 Corinthians 10:13-18

Thomson(i) 13 As for us we will not boast of things not measured out to us; but according to the measure of the rule of measure which God measured out to us to have come even to you; 14 for we did not stretch ourselves out beyond bounds as not reaching yon; for even to you we came the first with the glad tidings of the Christ; 15 not into what were not measured out to us, boasting in other men's labours; but having a hope, on your faith being increased, to be by you farther enlarged, according to our .allotment 16 to publish the good tidings in the regions beyond you; not in another's allotment; in places ready prepared, for the sake of boasting. 17 But let him who boasteth, boast in the Lord. 18 For it is not he who commendeth himself, who is approved, but he whom the Lord commendeth.
