ὑπερεκ-τείνω G5239
To overextend, stretch beyond proper limits; to claim more than what legitimately belongs to one
This compound verb means to stretch oneself beyond appropriate bounds. In 2 Corinthians 10:14, Paul defends himself against charges of overreaching his apostolic authority by insisting he does not 'overextend' himself—unlike his opponents, he came to Corinth with legitimate apostolic commission, so ministering there falls within his proper sphere. The Spanish and French translations capture the stretching imagery while German emphasizes the excessive extension beyond rightful limits.

1. sense 1 — In 2 Cor 10:14, Paul argues that coming to Corinth wasn't overstepping his bounds: 'we are not overextending ourselves, as though we did not reach you.' His critics apparently accused him of claiming authority in regions not assigned to him. The verb's imagery is of stretching (Spanish 'nos extendemos,' French 's'étendre') beyond one's proper reach. Paul counters that he does stretch far, but legitimately—his apostolic commission includes Corinth, so he hasn't exceeded the boundaries God set for his ministry. 1×
