2 Corinthians 10:15-17
International Children’s Bible
15 We limit our bragging to the work that is ours. We do not brag in the work other men have done. We hope that your faith will continue to grow. And we hope that you will help our work to grow much larger. 16 We want to tell the Good News in the areas beyond your city. We do not want to brag about work that has already been done in another man’s area. 17 But, “If a person brags, he should brag only about the Lord.”[a]
