2 Corinthians 10:11-13
Lexham English Bible
11 Let such a person consider this: that what we are in word by letters when we[a] are absent, we will also be in actions[b] when we[c] are present.
12 For we do not dare to classify or to compare ourselves with some who commend themselves, but they themselves, when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, do not understand. 13 But we will not boast beyond limits[d], but according to the measure of the assignment that God has assigned to us as a measure to reach even as far as you.

2 Corinthians 10:11-13
New International Version
11 Such people should realize that what we are in our letters when we are absent, we will be in our actions when we are present.
12 We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves.(A) When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise. 13 We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us,(B) a sphere that also includes you.
