15 How can we brag about things done by others that can’t be evaluated?We have confidence that as your faith grows, you will think enough of us to give us the help we need to carry out our assignment—
16 spreading the Good News in the regions far beyond you. We won’t brag about things already accomplished by someone else.
17 “Whoever brags should brag about what the Lord has done.”
18 It isn’t the person who makes his own recommendation who receives approval, but the person whom the Lord recommends.
