2 Korintus 10:15-16

10:15 Nor do we boast beyond certain limits ¹  in the work ²  done by others, but we hope ³  that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded ⁴  among you according to our limits, ⁵  10:16 so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area.

Conduct in Humility
