2 Corinthians 10:16-18
New English Translation
16 so that we may preach the gospel in the regions that lie beyond you, and not boast of work already done in another person’s area. 17 But the one who boasts must boast in the Lord.[a] 18 For it is not the person who commends himself who is approved, but the person the Lord commends.
