2 Korinther 10:16

Listen to 2 Korinther 10:16
16 um noch überströmender das Evangelium weiter über euch hinaus zu verkündigen, nicht in fremdem Wirkungskreise uns dessen zu rühmen, was schon bereit ist.

2 Korinther 10:16 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 10:16

To preach the Gospel in the regions beyond you
Here the apostle clearly expresses what he hoped for, and explains what he meant by being enlarged according to rule; namely, that he should be at liberty to preach the Gospel elsewhere; and hoped he should be directed by the providence of God, to carry it into the more remote and distant parts of the world, where as yet Christ had not been named:

and not to boast in another man's line:
or enter into another man's province, glory in other men's labours, as did the false apostles: and boast

of things made ready to our hand;
that is, of places cultivated and improved, by the preaching of the Gospel, so as to bring forth fruit to the honour and glory of God; where many souls were already converted, and churches were planted and put into good order, and were in a flourishing condition; see ( Romans 15:18-21 ) .

2 Korinther 10:16 In-Context

14 Denn wir strecken uns selbst nicht zu weit aus, als gelangten wir nicht bis zu euch (denn wir sind auch bis zu euch gekommen in dem Evangelium des Christus),
15 indem wir uns nicht ins Maßlose rühmen in fremden Arbeiten, aber Hoffnung haben, wenn euer Glaube wächst, unter euch vergrößert zu werden nach unserem Wirkungskreise,
16 um noch überströmender das Evangelium weiter über euch hinaus zu verkündigen, nicht in fremdem Wirkungskreise uns dessen zu rühmen, was schon bereit ist.
17 "Wer sich aber rühmt, rühme sich des Herrn".
18 Denn nicht wer sich selbst empfiehlt, der ist bewährt, sondern den der Herr empfiehlt.
