- 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,

- 这等人当想,我们不在那里的时候,信上的言语如何,见面的时候,行事也必如何。
- 因为我们不敢将自己和那自荐的人同列相比。他们用自己度量自己,用自己比较自己,乃是不通达的。
- 我们不愿意分外夸口,只要照神所量给我们的界限,构到你们那里。
- 我们并非过了自己的界限,好像构不到你们那里。因为我们早到你们那里,传了基督的福音。
- 我们不仗着别人所劳碌的,分外夸口。但指望你们信心增长的时候,所量给我们的界限,就可以因着你们更加开展,
