    9that I may not seem as if I would terrify you by my letters.

    10For, His letters, they say, are weighty and strong; but his bodily presence is weak, and his speech of no account.

    11Let such a one reckon this, that, what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such [are we] also in deed when we are present.

    12For we are not bold to number or compare ourselves with certain of them that commend themselves: but they themselves, measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves with themselves, are without understanding.

    13But we will not glory beyond [our] measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you.

    14For we stretch not ourselves overmuch, as though we reached not unto you: for we came even as far as unto you in the gospel of Christ:

    15not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is], in other men's labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance,

    16so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, [and] not to glory in another's province in regard of things ready to our hand.

    17But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
