2 Corinthians 10:16

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.

To preach the gospel {G2097} in {G1519} the regions beyond {G5238} you {G5216}, and not {G3756} to boast {G2744} in {G1722} another man's {G245} line {G2583} of {G1519} things made ready to our hand {G2092}.

namely, to proclaim the Good News in regions beyond you. Our hope is not to boast about the work already done by someone else.

so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.

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.
