Apostolic Boundaries and True Boasting

12

For we dare not match or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but we measure ourselves by ourselves and compare ourselves with ourselves.

13

But we will not glory beyond our measure: but according to the measure of the rule which God hath measured to us, a measure to reach even unto you.

14

For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as if we reached not unto you. For we are come as far as to you in the Gospel of Christ.

15

Not glorying beyond measure in other men's labours: but having hope of your increasing faith, to be magnified in you according to our rule abundantly.

16

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.

17

But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

18

For not he who commendeth himself is approved: but he, whom God commendeth.
