2 Corinthians
Chapters 10:11-17
Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version
11Those people should know this: When we are there with you, we will show the same power that we show now in our letters.
12We don’t dare put ourselves in the same class with those who think they are so important. We don’t compare ourselves to them. They use themselves to measure themselves, and they judge themselves by what they themselves are. This shows that they know nothing.
13But we will not boast about anything outside the work that was given us to do. We will limit our boasting to the work God gave us, but this work includes our work with you.
14We would be boasting too much only if we had not already come to you. But we have come to you with the Good News about Christ.
15We limit our boasting to the work that is ours. We don’t boast about the work other people have done. We hope that your faith will continue to grow. We hope that you will help our work to grow much larger.
16We want to tell the Good News in the areas beyond your city. We don’t want to boast about work that has already been done in someone else’s area.
17“Whoever boasts should boast only about the Lord.”
