2 Corintios 6:12

12 Nunca les hemos negado nuestro afecto, pero ustedes sí nos niegan el suyo.

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 aparentemente tristes, pero siempre alegres; pobres en apariencia, pero enriqueciendo a muchos; como si no tuviéramos nada, pero poseyéndolo todo.
11 Hermanos corintios, les hemos hablado con toda franqueza; les hemos abierto de par en par nuestro corazón.
12 Nunca les hemos negado nuestro afecto, pero ustedes sí nos niegan el suyo.
13 Para corresponder del mismo modo —les hablo como si fueran mis hijos—, ¡abran también su corazón de par en par!
14 No formen yunta con los incrédulos. ¿Qué tienen en común la justicia y la maldad? ¿O qué comunión puede tener la luz con la oscuridad?
