Central Idea: Paul declares he would not dare to join the fray of 'ministry comparisons.' He will not boast in that which he has not accomplished; and more so, will not boast in what others have accomplished; further still, there is no place for boasting in anything save in the Lord- It belongs to God to do the commending. Explanations / Questions : v.13-14, We will only boast in our rightful sphere - which includes you... because it is not as though we didn't reach you because we were the first to bring the gospel to you. The primary proposition, then, is Paul's limiting of his own boasting, rather than a declaration that he is going to boast, " and here's why..." v.13a & v.15a, Both verses contain the main propositions of their respective arcs: v.13a, "we will not boast beyond our limits..." v.15a, "we do not boast beyond our limit in the labor of others..." Though the second restates the first, I chose to connect the two arcs as a (P) - progression, because the second adds a new emphasis, viz. ' in the labor of others .' It is this new emphasis that he elaborates further by contrasting it with his own ministry which aims at pioneer missions - where no one has gone before. v.17-18, At first I related this arc to the one preceeding it (v.15-16) as an explanation of the idea that Paul will not boast in work not his own. However, I think this arc really represents the climax of Paul's argument. I think (?) the conjuction de supports this.

NT

οὐ γὰρ τολμῶμεν ἐγκρῖναι ἢ συγκρῖναι ἑαυτούς τισιν τῶν ἑαυτοὺς συνιστανόντων

Not that we [for we do not] dare to classify or compare ourselves with some of those who are commending themselves.

ἀλλὰ αὐτοὶ ἐν ἑαυτοῖς ἑαυτοὺς μετροῦντες

But when they measure themselves by one another

καὶ συγκρίνοντες ἑαυτοὺς ἑαυτοῖς

and compare themselves with one another,

series

οὐ συνιᾶσιν

they are without understanding.

temporal

alternative

ἡμεῖς δὲ οὐκ εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα καυχησόμεθα

But we will not boast beyond limits,

ἀλλὰ κατὰ τὸ μέτρον τοῦ κανόνος οὗ ἐμέρισεν ἡμῖν ὁ θεὸς μέτρου ἐφικέσθαι ἄχρι καὶ ὑμῶν

but will boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us, to reach even to you.

negativepositive

οὐ γὰρ ὡς μὴ ἐφικνούμενοι εἰς ὑμᾶς ὑπερεκτείνομεν ἑαυτούς

For we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you.

ἄχρι γὰρ καὶ ὑμῶν ἐφθάσαμεν ἐν τῷ εὐαγγελίῳ τοῦ Χριστοῦ

For we were the first to come all the way to you with the gospel of Christ.

ground

οὐκ εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα καυχώμενοι ἐν ἀλλοτρίοις κόποις

We do not boast beyond limit in the labors of others.

ἐλπίδα δὲ ἔχοντες αὐξανομένης τῆς πίστεως ὑμῶν ἐν ὑμῖν μεγαλυνθῆναι κατὰ τὸν κανόνα ἡμῶν εἰς περισσείαν

But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged,

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

so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you, without boasting of work already done in another's area of influence.

actionpurpose

ὁ δὲ καυχώμενος ἐν κυρίῳ καυχάσθω

[But] "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."

οὐ γὰρ ὁ ἑαυτὸν συνιστάνων ἐκεῖνός ἐστιν δόκιμος

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved,

ἀλλὰ ὃν ὁ κύριος συνίστησιν

but the one whom the Lord commends.
