NET Bible
"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."
— 2 Corinthians 10:16, NET Bible
“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.”
“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.”
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.
For we were not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach as far as you, because we were the first to reach as far as you with the gospel about Christ.
Nor do we boast beyond certain limits in the work done by others, but we hope that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded among you according to our limits,
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.
But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.
For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.
