2 Corinthians 10:13
“But we will not boast beyond proper limits, but within the boundaries with which God appointed to us, which reach even to you.”
Verse in context — 2 Corinthians 10
Let such a person consider this, that what we are in word by letters when we are absent, such are we also in deed when we are present.

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 Good News of Christ,
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,
