it is in humility and gentleness today; I boast of the authority Yahweh has given me for building up rather than tearing down, and I will not be ashamed of it. I do not to seem to be trying to frighten you with my letters. For some say my letters are weighty and forceful but in person she is unimpressive and her speaking amount to nothing such people would realize that I am in my letters when I’m absent, I will be in my action when I am present.
I will not boast beyond proper limits, I will confine my boasting to the sphere of service of that which Yahweh assigns to me himself, a sphere that includes you. I am not going too far in boasting, as would be the case if I had not come to you, for I did not get as far as you with the gospel Christ.
neither do I go beyond my limits by boasting of work done by other(s). Our hope in Christ Jesus is that, as faith continues to expand; so that we preach the gospel in the regions beyond you.
For I do not want to boast about work already done in someone’s territory. Let the one who boast, boast in Christ. For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved but the one whom the lord commends.
