2 Corinzi 6:12

12 Voi non siete allo stretto in noi, ma ben siete stretti nelle vostre viscere.

2 Corinzi 6:12 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 6:12

Ye are not straitened in us
The meaning of which is, either you are not brought into straits and difficulties by us; we do not afflict and distress you, or fill you with anguish and trouble;

but ye are straitened in your own bowels;
you are distressed by some among yourselves, who ought not to be with you, with whom you should have no fellowship and communion: or thus, you have room enough in our hearts, our hearts are so enlarged with love to you, that they are large enough to hold you all; an expression, setting forth the exceeding great love, and strong affection the apostle bore to the Corinthians; when, on the other hand, they had but very little love to him comparatively; he had a heart to hold them all without being straitened for room; and among all them they could scarce find room enough in their hearts and affections for him.

2 Corinzi 6:12 In-Context

10 come contristati, e pur sempre allegri; come poveri, e pure arricchendo molti; come non avendo nulla, e pur possedendo ogni cosa.

11 LA nostra bocca è aperta inverso voi, o Corinti; il cuor nostro è allargato.

12 Voi non siete allo stretto in noi, ma ben siete stretti nelle vostre viscere.

13 Ora, per far par pari, io parlo come a figliuoli, allargatevi ancora voi.

14 Non vi accoppiate con gl’infedeli; perciocchè, che partecipazione vi è egli tra la giustizia e l’iniquità? e che comunione vi è egli della luce con le tenebre?
