  • 2 Cor 10:13-16 : 13 But we will not boast beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God has distributed to us, a measure to reach even to you. 14 For we do not extend ourselves beyond our measure, as though we did not reach to you: for we have come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ: 15 Not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly, 16 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.

  • 1 Cor 3:9-9 : 9 For we are workers together with God: you are God's field, you are God's building. 10 According to the grace of God which is given to me, as a wise master builder, I have laid the foundation, and another builds on it. But let every man be careful how he builds on it. 11 For no other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw; 13 Each one's work will become clear: for the day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one's work, of what sort it is. 14 If anyone's work which he has built on it endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone's work is burned, he will suffer loss: but he himself will be saved; yet so as through fire.
