2 Corintios 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 Corintios 6:12 In-Context

10 Hay dolor en nuestro corazón, pero siempre tenemos alegría. Somos pobres, pero damos riquezas espirituales a otros. No poseemos nada, y sin embargo, lo tenemos todo.

11 ¡Oh, queridos amigos corintios!, les hemos hablado con toda sinceridad y nuestro corazón está abierto a ustedes.

12 No hay falta de amor de nuestra parte, pero ustedes nos han negado su amor.

13 Les pido que respondan como si fueran mis propios hijos. ¡Ábrannos su corazón!

14 El templo del Dios viviente
No se asocien íntimamente con los que son incrédulos. ¿Cómo puede la justicia asociarse con la maldad? ¿Cómo puede la luz vivir con las tinieblas?
