2 Corinthians 10:16
Compare all
14 For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), afor it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;  
15 not boasting of things beyond measure, that is, ain other men’s labors, but having hope, that as your faith is increased, we shall be greatly enlarged by you in our sphere,  
16 to preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s sphere of accomplishment.
17 But a“he who glories, let him glory in the Lord.”  
18 For anot he who commends himself is approved, but bwhom the Lord commends.

2 Corinthians 10:16

To—that is, so as to preach . . . beyond you (and) not to boast, etc.

in another man's line of things made ready to our hand—Do not connect "line of things," etc.; but "boast of things," etc. To make this clearer, arrange the words thus, "Not to boast as to things (already made by the preaching of others) ready to our hand in another man's line (that is, within the line, or sphere of labor, apportioned by God to another)."
