Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 2 Corinthians 10:12-18

12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they show their ignorance.
13We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us — a field that reaches even to you.
14We are not overstepping our bounds, as if we had not come to you. Indeed, we were the first to reach you with the gospel of Christ.
15Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,
16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.
17Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”
18For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
— 2 Corinthians 10:12-18
