2 Corinthians 10:15-17
New Testament for Everyone
15 We don’t boast without a measuring rule in the work someone else has done. This is what we hope for: that, as your faith increases, we will be given a much larger space for work, according to our rule, 16 which is to announce the gospel in the lands beyond you, not to boast in what has already been accomplished through the rule someone else has been given. 17 “Anyone who boasts should boast in the Lord!”

2 Corinthians 10:15-17
New International Version
15 Neither do we go beyond our limits(A) by boasting of work done by others.(B) Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow,(C) our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand, 16 so that we can preach the gospel(D) in the regions beyond you.(E) For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory. 17 But, “Let the one who boasts boast in the Lord.”[a](F)
