2 Corinthians 10:14-16
American Standard Version
14 For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we [a]came even as far as unto you in the [b]gospel of Christ: 15 not glorying beyond our measure, that is, in other men’s labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our [c]province unto further abundance, 16 so as to [d]preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, and not to glory in another’s [e]province in regard of things ready to our hand.

2 Corinthians 10:14-16
New International Version
14 We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you(A) with the gospel of Christ.(B) 15 Neither do we go beyond our limits(C) by boasting of work done by others.(D) Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow,(E) our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, 16 so that we can preach the gospel(F) in the regions beyond you.(G) For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory.
