2 Corinthians 10:13 — Community Reflections

2 CORINTHIANS 10:13 — KING JAMES VERSION 1 1

“But we will not boast of things without our measure, but according to the measure of the rule which God hath distributed to us, a measure to reach even unto you.”

We, however, will not boast beyond proper limits, but will confine our boasting to the sphere of service God has assigned to us, a sphere that also includes you — Paul's *kanōn*, sphere/standard, is *ordained* (*diatássō*) by God. His *kaúchēsis*, boasting, is measured by *metron*, measure, and *horos*, boundary. The Corinthians are *within* his apostolic *kanōn*; thus his authority is *legitimate*, not *presumptuous*.
