But when I came to Troas to preach the Gospel of Christ, though a door was opened unto me by the Lord,

For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.

to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to arrogate glory in another man's line for things already prepared.

For if he indeed that cometh preach another Jesus, whom we have not preached, or ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not embraced, ye might well bear with him.
