14
For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:
15
Not boasting of things without our measure, that is, of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased , that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly ,
16
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.
17
But he that glorieth , let him glory in the Lord.
18
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth .
