This opportunity for serving also includes you.I am not going too far in my bragging. I would be going too far if I hadn’t come to where you live. But I did get there with the good news about Christ.And I won’t brag about work done by others. If I did, I would be bragging more than I should. As your faith continues to grow, I hope that my work among you will greatly increase.Then I will be able to preach the good news in the areas beyond you.

Those the Lord praises are accepted.
