12For we do not make bold to rank or to compare ourselves with certain of those commending themselves, but they, among themselves measuring themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are not wise,
13and we in regard to the unmeasured things will not boast ourselves, but after the measure of the line that the God of measure did appoint to us -- to reach even unto you;
14for not as not reaching to you do we stretch ourselves overmuch, for even unto you did we come in the good news of the Christ,
15not boasting of the things not measured, in other men`s labours, and having hope -- your faith increasing -- in you to be enlarged, according to our line -- into abundance,
16in the [places] beyond you to proclaim good news, not in another`s line in regard to the things made ready, to boast;
17and he who is boasting -- in the Lord let him boast;
18for not he who is commending himself is approved, but he whom the Lord doth commend.
