We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged,

We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brothers, as is right, because your faith is growing abundantly, and the love of every one of you for one another is increasing.
But we will not boast beyond limits, but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.
None of the rest dared join them, but the people held them in high esteem.
