2 Corinthians 10:15

15 Nor do we boast beyond certain limits ^{▼▼ Or “boast excessively.” The phrase εἰς τὰ ἄμετρα (eis ta ametra) is an idiom; literally it means “into that which is not measured,” that is, a point on a scale that goes beyond what might be expected (L&N 78.27).} in the work ^{▼▼ Or “in the labors.”} done by others, but we hope ^{▼▼ Grk “but we have the hope.”} that as your faith continues to grow, our work may be greatly expanded ^{▼▼ Or “greatly enlarged.”} among you according to our limits, ^{▼▼ That is, Paul’s work might be greatly expanded within the area of activity assigned to him by God.}
