²⁰ yes, making it my aim to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build on another's foundation.

¹³ But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.

¹⁴ For we don't stretch ourselves too much, as though we didn't reach to you. For we came even as far as to you with the Gospel of Christ,

¹⁵ not boasting beyond proper limits in other men's labors, but having hope that as your faith grows, we will be abundantly enlarged by you in our sphere of influence,

¹⁶ so as to preach the Gospel even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

⁹ For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's farming, God's building.

¹⁰ According to the grace of God which was given to me, as a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another builds on it. But let each man be careful how he builds on it.

¹¹ For no one can lay any other foundation than that which has been laid, which is Jesus Christ.

¹² But if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or stubble;

¹³ each man's work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it is revealed in fire; and the fire itself will test what sort of work each man's work is.

¹⁴ If any man's work remains which he built on it, he will receive a reward.

¹⁵ If any man's work is burned, he will suffer loss, but he himself will be saved, but as through fire.

²⁰ being built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief cornerstone;

²¹ in whom the whole building, fitted together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord;

²² in whom you also are built together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.
