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. For we are not
overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you. For we were the first
to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. We do not boast beyond
limit in the labours of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases,
our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged, so that we may preach
the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in
another's area of influence. “Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord.” For
it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the
Lord commends.
For
though we walk in the flesh, we are not waging war according to the flesh. For
the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh but have divine power to
destroy strongholds. We destroy arguments and every lofty opinion raised
against the knowledge of God, and take every thought captive to obey Christ,
