12 PBBM Hami inda barani manggolongkon diri sangape dohot halak na tartontu na mamuji diri nia. Halahi mangukur dirina dohot ukuran munu sandiri dohot mambandingkon diri na dohot diri na halak i na oto mahomu.

16 PBBM Hami mangolu anso bisa hami mambaritahon injil di daerah-daerah na lobi dao pado sian daerah munu dohot inda bermegah nasian labo na dapot halak na lain di daerah karejo na di tantuhon baen di halak i. BSB BSB: 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.
