2 Corinthians 10:13
But twe will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the 7rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.
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.
NKJV: We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us—a sphere which especially includes you.
ESV: But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.
ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐχὶ εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα καυχησόμεθα, ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τοῦ κανόνος οὗ ἐμέρισεν ἡμῖν ὁ Θεός, μέτρου ἐφικέσθαι ἄχρι καὶ ὑμῶν.
