To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's field of things made ready to our hand.
All Commentaries on 2 Corinthians 10:16 Go To 2 Corinthians 10
George Leo Haydock
AD 1849
The words, measure, rule signify through the whole of this chapter a share, or an allotment of any place to cultivate. St. Paul never gloried like the persons whom he is here blaming, that he entered into other men's labours. But still neither those persons who have come to you, nor we who first preached the gospel to you, have any right to glory, except in God alone. (Calmet)
We still hope, that your faith every day increasing, we shall be able to extend our measure much further, and carry the gospel to nations far beyond you, without interfering with any other, by glorying of having built on what they had already prepared. (Bible de Vence) _
