2 Corinthiens 6:12

12 Vous n'êtes point à l'étroit au-dedans de nous; mais vos entrailles à vous se sont rétrécies.

2 Corinthiens 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 Corinthiens 6:12 In-Context

10 Comme affligés, mais toujours joyeux; comme pauvres, mais enrichissant plusieurs; comme n'ayant rien, quoique possédant toutes choses.

11 Notre bouche s'est ouverte pour vous, ô Corinthiens! Notre cœur s'est élargi.

12 Vous n'êtes point à l'étroit au-dedans de nous; mais vos entrailles à vous se sont rétrécies.

13 Or, pour nous rendre la pareille (je vous parle comme à mes enfants), élargissez-vous aussi.

14 Ne vous mettez pas sous un même joug avec les infidèles; car qu'y a-t-il de commun entre la justice et l'iniquité? et quelle union y a-t-il entre la lumière et les ténèbres?
