2 Corinthians 10:18

16 so that we can preach the gospel in the regions beyond you. Then we will not be boasting in the work already done in another man’s territory.

17 Rather, “Let him who boasts boast in the Lord.”

For it is not the one who commends himself who is approved, but the one whom the Lord commends.
