NASB
"But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you."
— 2 Corinthians 10:13, NASB
“But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.”
“But we will not glory beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you. ”
“But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.”
“But we will not boast beyond certain limits, but will confine our boasting according to the limits of the work to which God has appointed us, that reaches even as far as you.”
“But we will not glory beyond our measure: but according to the measure of the rule which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.”
“We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.”
“But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.”
For they say, "His letters are weighty and strong, but his personal presence is unimpressive and his speech contemptible."
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.
But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.
For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;
not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,
so as to preach the gospel even to the regions beyond you, and not to boast in what has been accomplished in the sphere of another.
