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 Cuando estuve entre ustedes y necesité algo, no fui una carga para nadie, ya que los hermanos que llegaron de Macedonia suplieron mis necesidades. He evitado serles una carga en cualquier sentido, y seguiré evitándolo.

10 Es tan cierto que la verdad de Cristo está en mí, como lo es que nadie en las regiones de Acaya podrá privarme de este motivo de orgullo.

11 ¿Por qué? ¿Porque no los amo? ¡Dios sabe que sí!

12 Pero seguiré haciendo lo que hago, a fin de quitar todo pretexto a aquellos que, buscando una oportunidad para hacerse iguales a nosotros, se jactan de lo que hacen.

13 Tales individuos son falsos apóstoles, obreros estafadores, que se disfrazan de apóstoles de Cristo.
