Kehillah in Corinth II 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 6:13

Now for a recompence in the same
That your love to me may answer mine to you; that as you have my heart, I may have yours, and the same room in your heart, as you have in mine. The Vulgate Latin version reads, "having the same recompence"; and the Arabic version renders it, "grant to me the same recompence"; and the Syriac version, "recompense to me my usuries that are with you"; that is, repay me with affection, let love be returned for love.

I speak as unto my children;
which relation subsisting between us requires mutual affection; for as a father should love his children, so children should love their father:

be ye also enlarged;
in your love to me, as I am to you; and then, as if he should say, you will bear with, and take in good part the following exhortation and advice.

Kehillah in Corinth II 6:13 In-Context

11 We have spoken freely with you Corinthians, our levavot has been enlarged.
12 There is no penury in our affections, only in yours.
13 Now (I speak as to yeladim) make a fair exchange and open wide your levavot [1C 4:14].
14 Do not become unequally yoked with koferim (unbelievers) [Ep 5:7,11] for what shuttafut (partnership) has Tzedek with Lawlessness? Or where is the Brit (Covenant) between Ohr (light) and Choshech (darkness)? [BERESHIS 24:3; DEVARIM 22:10]
15 And what harmony does Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach have with B’liya’al? Or what chelek (allotment, inheritance) has a ma’amin with an Apikoros?
