³ For through ^(A)the grace given to me I say to each one among you ^(B)not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound thinking, as God has allotted to ^(C)each a measure of faith.

¹⁵ not boasting ^(A)beyond our measure in ^(B)other men’s labors, but having the hope—that as ^(C)your faith grows—to be ^(D)enlarged even more by you ^[a]within our area of influence, ¹⁶ so as to ^(E)proclaim the gospel even to ^(F)the regions beyond you, and not to boast ^[b](G)in what has been accomplished in the area of influence of another. ¹⁷ But ^(H)he who boasts is to boast in the Lord. ¹⁸ For it is not the one who ^(I)commends himself that is approved, but the one ^(J)whom the Lord commends.
