What does 2 Corinthians 6:11 mean?
O ye Corinthians
The apostle having exhorted the ministers of the church at
Corinth to take care of their ministry, that they fulfil it, and
that it might appear that the Gospel, and gifts fitting them to
preach it, were not received in vain by them; all which he
strengthens and encourages by his own example; and that of
others, addresses the members of the church in a very pathetic
manner, saying,
our mouth is open to you;
to speak our minds freely to you; we shall hide and conceal
nothing from you, we shall deal with you with all plainness and
faithfulness. This seems to refer unto, and pave the way for what
he afterwards says about their unequal fellowship with
unbelievers:
our heart is enlarged:
with love to you, and eager desires after your good; and it is
from the abundance of our hearts, and hearty affection for you,
that our mouth is open so freely to communicate to you.
