¹⁰ By the grace God has given me,^(A) I laid a foundation^(B) as a wise builder, and someone else is building on it. But each one should build with care.

¹³ We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God himself has assigned to us,^(A) a sphere that also includes you.

¹⁵ Neither do we go beyond our limits^(A) by boasting of work done by others.^(B) Our hope is that, as your faith continues to grow,^(C) our sphere of activity among you will greatly expand,

¹⁶ so that we can preach the gospel^(A) in the regions beyond you.^(B) For we do not want to boast about work already done in someone else’s territory.
