2Cor.10.14

We're not moving into someone else's "territory." We were already there with you, weren't we? We were the first ones to get there with the Message of Christ, right? So how can there be any question of overstepping our bounds by writing or visiting you?

2Cor.10.14

We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did get as far as you with the gospel of Christ.

2Cor.10.14

For we are not overextending ourselves (as though our authority did not extend to you), for it was to you that we came with the gospel of Christ;

2Cor.10.14

We are not going too far when we claim authority over you, for we were the first to travel all the way to you with the Good News of Christ.
