2 Corinthians 10 — Context

11

Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

12

For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves. But they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

13

But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

14

For we don't stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn't reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ,

15

not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

16

so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

17

But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."
