    7Do you look only at outward appearances? If anyone is confident that he belongs to Christ, let him consider again that just as he belongs to Christ, so also do we.

    12We do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they lack understanding.

    13We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you.

    14We are not overextending ourselves, as though we had not reached you. For we were the first to come to you with the gospel of Christ.

    15Neither do we go beyond our limits by boasting in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith continues to grow, our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand,

    16so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. For we do not want to boast in work already done in another person's area.

    3For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh.

    6Therefore, we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body, we are away from the Lord.

    7(For we live by faith, not by sight.)

    8We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.

    9So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.

    10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each of us may receive what is due us for the things done while in the body, whether good or bad.

    11Since we know what it means to fear the Lord, we try to persuade others. What we are is plain to God, and I hope it is also plain to your conscience.

    12We are not trying to commend ourselves to you again, but are giving you an opportunity to take pride in us, so that you can answer those who take pride in what is seen rather than in what is in the heart.

    13If we are out of our mind, as some say, it is for God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
