010:013 But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you. 010:014 For we don't stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn't reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Good News of Christ, 010:015 not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence, 010:016 so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done. 010:017 But "he who boasts, let him boast in the Lord."{Jeremiah 9:24} 010:018 For it isn't he who commends himself who is approved, but whom the Lord commends. 011:001 I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness, but indeed you do bear with me. 011:002 For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy. For I married you to one husband, that I might present you as a pure virgin to Christ. 011:003 But I am afraid that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve in his craftiness, so your minds might be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. 011:004 For if he who comes preaches another Jesus, whom we did not preach, or if you receive a different spirit, which you did not receive, or a different "good news", which you did not accept, you put up with that well enough. 011:005 For I reckon that I am not at all behind the very best apostles. 011:006 But though I am unskilled in speech, yet I am not unskilled in knowledge. No, in every way we have been revealed to you in all things. 011:007 Or did I commit a sin in humbling myself that you might be exalted, because I preached to you God's Good News free of charge? 011:008 I robbed other assemblies, taking wages from them that I might serve you. 011:009 When I was present with you and was in need, I wasn't a burden on anyone, for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, supplied the measure of my need. In everything I kept myself from being burdensome to you, and I will continue to do so. 011:010 As the truth of Christ is in me, no one will stop me from this boasting in the regions of Achaia. 011:011 Why? Because I don't love you? God knows. 011:012 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off occasion from them that desire an occasion, that in which they boast, they may be found even as we. 011:013 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, masquerading as Christ's apostles. 011:014 And no wonder, for even Satan masquerades as an angel of light. 011:015 It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works. 011:016 I say again, let no one think me foolish. But if so,
