15. We are not bragging beyond measure about other people’s labors. But we have the hope that as your faith increases, our area of ministry will be greatly enlarged,
16. so that we may proclaim the good news to the regions beyond you, not boasting about what has already been done in someone else’s area of ministry.
17. So the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.
18. For it is not the one commending himself who is approved, but the one the Lord commends.
