2 Corinthians 10:16

To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man’s line of things made ready to our hand.

KJV

εἰς τὰ ὑπερέκεινα ὑμῶν εὐαγγελίσασθαι, οὐκ ἐν ἀλλοτρίῳ κανόνι εἰς τὰ ἕτοιμα καυχήσασθαι.

Greek NT

etiam in illa, quæ ultra vos sunt, evangelizare, non in aliena regula in iis quæ præparata sunt gloriari.

Vulgate

so as to preach the gospel even unto the parts beyond you, and not to glory in another’s province in regard of things ready to our hand.

ASV

Yea, unto those places that are beyond you to preach the gospel: not to glory in another man's rule, in those things that are made ready to our hand.
