    12 For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

    13 We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

    14 For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

    15 Not taking credit to ourselves for what is not our business, that is, for the work of others; but having hope that, with the growth of your faith, we may get the credit for an increase which is the effect of our work,

    16 So that we may be able to go on and take the good news to countries still farther away than you are, and not take credit for another man's work in making things ready to our hand.

    6 So, then, we are ever without fear, and though conscious that while we are in the body we are away from the Lord,

    7 (For we are walking by faith, not by seeing,)

    8 We are without fear, desiring to be free from the body, and to be with the Lord.

    9 For this reason we make it our purpose, in the body or away from it, to be well-pleasing to him.

    10 For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

    11 Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.
