But we will not boast of things that are without our measure, but according to the measure of the line which God allotted us,a measure to reach even to you.

not boasting of things that are without measure, in other mens labors, but having hope, when your faith is increased, that our line will through you be still further extended,

so that we may preach the gospel in the regions beyond you; not boasting, in anothers line, of things made ready to our hand.
