2 Corintios 11:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 11:11

Wherefore? because I love you not?
&c.] Why did the apostle do this? why did he take nothing, and resolve to take nothing of the Corinthians, for preaching the Gospel to them? why did he determine, that no man should prevent his glorying of this, in all the country of Achaia? was it because he did not love the Corinthians? some might insinuate this was the reason of it, that he had no true affection for them, and therefore would take none of their gifts, but despised both them and theirs, and loved the Macedonian and other churches better than they. To which he answers by saying,

God knoweth;
which is another form of an oath, and is a solemn appeal to God, the searcher of hearts, who knows all things, that he knew he heartily loved them; that it was not want of love to them, which was the reason of his entering into such a resolution, never to take anything of them; but it was something else, quite another thing, which induced him to it, and is mentioned in the following verse.

2 Corintios 11:11 In-Context

9 Cuando estuve con ustedes y no tenía lo suficiente para vivir, no llegué a ser una carga financiera para nadie. Pues los hermanos que llegaron de Macedonia me trajeron todo lo que necesitaba. Nunca he sido una carga para ustedes y jamás lo seré.

10 Tan cierto como que la verdad de Cristo está en mí, nadie en toda Grecia
me impedirá que me jacte de esto.

11 ¿Por qué? ¿Porque no los amo? Dios sabe que sí.

12 Pero seguiré haciendo lo que siempre he hecho. Esto debilitará los argumentos de aquellos que andan buscando la oportunidad para jactarse de que su trabajo es igual al nuestro.

13 Estos individuos son falsos apóstoles. Son obreros engañosos que se disfrazan de apóstoles de Cristo.
