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,

so that we may proclaim the good news to the regions beyond you, not boasting about what has already been done in someone else’s area of ministry.
