- Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when absent, such persons we are also in deed when present.
- For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.
- But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.
- For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;
- not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,

- 這等人當想、我們不在那裡的時候、信上的言語如何、見面的時候、行事也必如何。
- 因為我們不敢將自己和那自薦的人同列相比.他們用自己度量自己、用自己比較自己、乃是不通達的。
- 我們不願意分外誇口、只要照 神所量給我們的界限、搆到你們那裡。
- 我們並非過了自己的界限、好像搆不到你們那裡.因為我們早就到你們那裡、傳了基督的福音。
- 我們不仗著別人所勞碌的、分外誇口.但指望你們信心增長的時候、所量給我們的界限、就可以因著你們更加開展、
