"and even so as to evangelize in those places that are beyond you, not in order to glory in the measure of others, but rather in those things which have already been prepared. "
— 2 Corinthians 10:16, Catholic Public Domain Version
“To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.”
“so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, and not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand. ”
“so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.”
“so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area.”
“Yea, unto those places that are beyond you to preach the gospel: not to glory in another man's rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.”
“So that we may be able to go on and take the good news to countries still farther away than you are, and not take credit for another man's work in making things ready to our hand.”
“To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.”
Thus, we will not glory beyond our measure, but rather according to the measure of the limit which God has measured out to us, a measure which extends even to you.
For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we are not able to reach as far as you are able. For we have gone even as far as you have in the Gospel of Christ.
We are not glorying immeasurably over the labors of others. Instead, we hold on to the hope of your growing faith, so as to be magnified in you, according to our own limits, but in abundance,
and even so as to evangelize in those places that are beyond you, not in order to glory in the measure of others, but rather in those things which have already been prepared.
But whoever glories, let him glory in the Lord.
For it is not he who commends himself who is approved, but rather he whom God commends.
