2 Corinthians 10 12-2 Corinthians 10 18
For we dare not make ourselves of the number, or compare ourselves with some that commend themselves: but they measuring themselves by themselves, and comparing themselves among themselves, are not wise.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.For we stretch not ourselves beyond[ our measure], as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in[ preaching] the gospel of Christ:Not boasting of things without[ our] measure,[ that is], of other men’s labours; but having hope, when your faith is increased, that we shall be enlarged by you according to our rule abundantly,To preach the gospel in the[ regions] beyond you,[ and] not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth.

2 Corinthians 11 21-2 Corinthians 11 23
I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any is bold,( I speak foolishly,) I am bold also.Are they Hebrews? so[ am] I. Are they Israelites? so[ am] I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so[ am] I.Are they ministers of Christ?( I speak as a fool) I[ am] more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.

Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise[ man] glory in his wisdom, neither let the mighty[ man] glory in his might, let not the rich[ man] glory in his riches:But let him that glorieth glory in this, that he understandeth and knoweth me, that I[ am] the LORD which exercise lovingkindness, judgment, and righteousness, in the earth: for in these[ things] I delight, saith the LORD.
