| 13 | But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you. | We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you. | But we will not glory beyond our measure, but according to the measure of the province which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even unto you. |

AI-assisted, sourced2 Corinthians 10:12-18Glory in the Lord
About 2 Corinthians 10Paul, who some say is "base" in presence but "bold" when absent, beseeches them "by the meekness and gentleness of Christ." Though "we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh," for "the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God," bringing "every thought to the obedience of Christ." Answering the charge that "his bodily presence is weak, and his speech contemptible," he refuses to compare himself with those who commend themselves, for "he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord." 2 Corinthians 10:12 Corinthians 10:32 Corinthians 10:42 Corinthians 10:52 Corinthians 10:102 Corinthians 10:122 Corinthians 10:17
