Appears 4 times in Scripture
“Peace and mercy to all who walk by this rule, even to the Israel of God.”
“We, however, will not boast beyond our limits, but only within the field of influence that God has assigned to us—a field that reaches even to you.”
“Neither do we boast beyond our limits in the labors of others. But we hope that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you will greatly increase as well,”
“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.”
