GLORY IN THE LORD

For we dare not make ourselves of the number,

or compare ourselves with some that

commend themselves: but they measuring

themselves by themselves, and comparing

themselves among themselves, are not wise.

But we will not boast of things

without our measure, but according to

the measure of the rule which God hath

distributed to us, a measure to reach even

unto you. For we stretch not ourselves

beyond our measure, as though we

reached not unto you: for we are come

as far as to you also in preaching

the gospel of Christ:  Not boasting of

things without our measure, that is, of

other men’s labours; but having hope,

when your faith is increased, that we

shall be enlarged by you according

to our rule abundantly,  To preach the

gospel in the regions beyond you, and

not to boast in another man’s

line of things made ready to our hand.

But he that glorieth, let him glory in

the Lord. For not he that commendeth

himself is approved, but whom the

Lord commendeth.

II Cor 10:12-18
