SCRIPTURE

"not glorying beyond [our] measure, [that is,] in other men`s labors; but having hope that, as your faith groweth, we shall be magnified in you according to our province unto [further] abundance," — 2 Corinthians 10:15 (ASV)

In other men's labours (εν αλλοτριοις κοποις). Αλλοτριος means belonging to another as in Lu 16:12. Paul founded the church in Corinth.

As your faith groweth (αυξανομενης της πιστεως). Genitive absolute of the present passive participle of αυξανω, to grow.

We shall be magnified (μεγαλυνθηνα). First aorist passive infinitive of μεγαλυνω, old verb (Luke 1:46) to make great (cf. Php 1:20 of Christ). Indirect discourse after ελπιδα (hope) with the construction of ελπιζω, to hope.
