2 Corinthians 10:16-18

Expanded Bible

¹⁶ ·We want to [^L…so that we may] ·tell the Good News [preach the Gospel] in the areas beyond ·your city [^Lyou]. We do not want to ·brag [boast] about work that has already been done in another person’s area. ¹⁷ But, “·If people want to brag, they should brag only [^LLet the one who boasts, boast] about the Lord [Jer. 9:24; 1 Cor. 1:31].” ¹⁸ [^LFor] It is not those who ·say they are good [^Lcommend/promote themselves; v. 12] who are ·accepted [approved] but those the Lord ·thinks are good [commends].
