2 Corinthians 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

2 Corinthians 6:13

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.

14 Do not ye bear the yoke with unfaithful men. For what parting of rightwiseness with wickedness [Soothly what parting, or communing, of rightwiseness with wickedness]? or what fellowship of light to darknesses?

15 and what according of Christ to Belial? or what part of a faithful [man] with the unfaithful [or heathen]?
