2 CORINTHIANS 10:14 — KING JAMES VERSION 2
“For we stretch not ourselves beyond our measure, as though we reached not unto you: for we are come as far as to you also in preaching the gospel of Christ:”
We are not going too far in our boasting, as would be the case if we had not come to you, for we did come to you with the gospel of Christ — Paul's *metron*, measure, is grounded in *reality*: he *phthánō*, reached/arrived, the Corinthians *first* with the *euangelion*, gospel. Founders possess *peculiar authority* over their foundational communities.
