2 Corinthians 10:15-16

Context
10:15 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.

1 tn Or “boast excessively.” The phrase εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα (ei" ta ametra) is an idiom; literally it means “into that which is not measured,” that is, a point on a scale that goes beyond what might be expected (L&N 78.27).

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.
