2 Corintios 6:11 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 6:11

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.

2 Corintios 6:11 In-Context

9 Nos ignoran aun cuando somos bien conocidos. Vivimos al borde de la muerte, pero aún seguimos con vida. Nos han golpeado, pero no matado.

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!
