2 Corinthians 10:15-16
Context10:15 Nor do we boast beyond certain limits 1 in the work 2 done by others, but we hope 3 that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded 4 among you according to our limits, 5 10:16 so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area.

2 tn Or “in the labors.”
3 tn Grk “but we have the hope.”
4 tn Or “greatly enlarged.”
5 tn That is, Paul’s work might be greatly expanded within the area of activity assigned to him by God.
