← 2 Corinthians 10:14	2 Corinthians 10:15 (KJV)	2 Corinthians 10:16 →
For we stretch not ourselves beyond [our measure], as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in [preaching] the gospel of Christ:	Not boasting of things without [our] measure, [that is], of other men's labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,	To preach the gospel in the [regions] beyond you, [and] not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
