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 y cuando estaba con vosotros y tuve necesidad, a nadie fui carga; porque cuando los hermanos llegaron de Macedonia, suplieron plenamente mi necesidad, y en todo me guardé, y me guardaré, de seros carga.

10 Como la verdad de Cristo está en mí, este gloriarme no se me impedirá en las regiones de Acaya.

11 ¿Por qué? ¿Porque no os amo? ¡Dios lo sabe!

12 Pero lo que hago continuaré haciéndolo, a fin de privar de oportunidad a aquellos que desean una oportunidad de ser considerados iguales a nosotros en aquello en que se glorían.

13 Porque los tales son falsos apóstoles, obreros fraudulentos, que se disfrazan como apóstoles de Cristo.
